As a recipient on the South Bend Civic Theatre's email list, I found out about this event a week or two before and took advantage of the free ticket on a night I was kid-free. Free theatre? Plays written by teens? As a movement to end gun violence? Having the availability, I couldn't pass it up. After opening remarks from Aaron Nichols, the Executive Director of…

I had some questions about things, so I've been doing more reading about Palestine/Israel/Hamas/Gaza Strip/West Bank/Anti-Semitism/Anti-Zionism. Here are a few pieces I read for understanding: And here are my thoughts about it. I didn't understand that conflict and factions enough, but after...wait for it...some research, I've come to a few thoughts about it:

This morning while eating my biscuits and gravy I noticed an individual walk in that looked familiar but couldn't remember from where. Finally, it came to me: I found him in my mailbox on a campaign mailer. I was in the same room as Congressman Rudy Yakym from Indiana's 2nd Congressional District. Oh, he doesn't want to be bothered.

Berrien Springs is a small town with a population of about 2,000 people (as of 2020) about 15 miles from St. Joseph, Michigan.

Nearly a century later, I had the chance to chat with Anna Kietzman, President of the Heartland Art Center.

I've lived in Michiana since 2013, but it wasn't until today that I finally made it out to the Nappanee Apple Festival. The 49th annual event of this town with a population of less than 7,000 was everything I've heard it to be. Classic fair food trucks all over, carnival rides for the littles, vendors all over and around Main Street, and well, as expected, apple goodies for those who are willing to wait in line.

Last weekend I took advantage of an opportunity and it helped clear some things up for me. 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the musical Hamilton (HamtilTen, if you will), and I treated myself to the 9:40am showing where they have heated recliners in every seat. Straight up, I genuinely believe that Hamilton, whose book and lyrics are written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, music directed and supervised by Alex Lacamoire, choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, and directed by Thomas Kail, is the singular greatest musical written in my lifetime, possibly in history.
