Busy week

Thursday is one of my busier class activities, Scene Workshop, in which we do staged readings of long dialogue scenes and edit them. I collect scenes today, prep for this tomorrow.

Reading a book about the role of the mob in the American Revolution, which was significant. This actually strikes me as the historical antecedent to the Occupy movement, which its more anarchistic and violent participants no doubt realize. One prefers change within the system, of course, but there are times in history when this becomes impossible. We may be there again.

Man, I'm glad I'm an old fart! When you live, like who your parents are, is luck of the draw. I've been damn lucky in so many accidental ways.
