Re: Night Vision

Electric dreams. Psychedelic stuff. Have you watched Michael Moore's  Planet of the Humans  ? No, I can't believe I have not even heard of that one but I will certainly look into it! Thanks Mark. I referenced Paul Simon because he has just issued a new album with religious themes and the lyrics of ...

Re: Quantum Physicists at a Bar discussing the Multiverse.

Thank you AJ, yes, who would know better than poets? Glad to see you are sticking around after Fives. I had not written anything for quite a while but I'm trying to break loose of a general malaise and more specifically a comatose muse. So I'll keep posting just to keep on posting

Re: Rock Climber's Hands

I had to laugh a little at this one Gyppo, as it put me in mind of a friend whose hands were so strong he referred to them as "Jed Clampits" a misspelling of the name of a character in a totally horrible sit-com called The Beverly Hillbillies. Beyond that, was the Chiropractor able to help? Another ...

Far Away review – dystopian drama takes close look at a world at war | Theatre | The Guardian

Would love to see a production of this! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Dave. Might not be as far-fetched as it sounds--well, at least as a very apt metaphor.
