Perceptions
Michael Bettencourt
Existential Eeyore: Part 1
The prompt for this essay and the next one comes from my having been told at various times by various people that I have an Eeyore strain, meaning (I think) that I am a glass-half-empty person.

Life
Arthur Meiselman
Shadows
The days are made of light: bright and dark, black and white, blue and yellow. Days roll into days, a luxury that allows me to wander at will, along a cliff, often among the cracks and tiny caves of the hillside.

Theatre
Nathan Thomas
Art vs. Commerce
A person buys a ticket to a show. Well, what is being bought exactly? What is being sold? Is the show art? Can art be sold? Can even the possibility of art be sold?

Media
Les Marcott
Book 'em Danno!
I recently learned of the remaking of two classic and iconic television shows of the 70's – Hawaii Five-O and The Rockford Files. This revelation was met by angst and dismay by more than a few people (me included).

Theatre
Claudine Jones
Gender Bent
I've been gleefully following the recent Superior Court decision in regard to the overturning of California's notorious Proposition 8—in my opinion, & thankfully the Court's, a piece of unmitigated gainsaying in the face of common sense.
