Rainy day smiles

A few things I grabbed from Instagram that might make you smile.

Angela, an online friend in Georgia who’s an actor, coincidentally posted this the same day I talked about Macbeth on here.

A truly feel-good story about people uniting.

Teaching moments courtesy of kindhearted truckers.


Do you have a junk drawer? More than one? Here’s ours. Junky, right?

Making me happy, because it means I’ve been writing some… I seem finally to have reached the end of the “M” artists on my Writing Playlist, unless I’ve overlooked something. These last few CDs provided quite a varied list.


Ian Moore, Modernday Folklore; Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill and Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie; Van Morrison, The Best of Van Morrison; Mumford & Sons, Babel and Sigh No More; Shawn Mullins, Soul’s Core; Michael Martin Murphy, Austinology: Alleys of Austin.

Jagged Little Pill takes me back to the place I worked in 1995 and makes me think of Nora, who told me about the bonus track and how it made her think of someone we knew, and Lisa Y, because we listened to it the nights I hung out with her while she worked on a mural in our company’s break room.

  1. That Jagged Little Pill always makes me think of Moose on You Can’t Do That On Television.

    1. And then Alistat, Adam, Doug, Barff, etc.

      And then all the spoofs of Barf Burgers, parents, lockers, teachers, opposite sketches, slime, water, splash

      It had it’s time, and it was fun. And then Kings Dominion had their pipe maze.
