Morning Reflection
Things I am grateful for this morning:
- the tang of very sharp, aged cheddar cheese
- my Aeropress and the delicious coffee it makes
- SomaFm.Com
- the support, always completely guilt free and generously given, of my family
Wherein I Narrate a Story for PodCastle.org
Just a quick note and link to a story that I read for PodCastle.

One of the Most Beautiful Videos I’ve Seen
This is simply a gorgeous song with one of the most beautiful videos I think I’ve ever seen. It deserves headphones and full screen.
Play 11 – Le Café Arbre
The dialogue is in French. You will most likely figure out why. I used Google Translate, so if some of the phraseology is wrong, please let me know so I can fix it in the script. If you don’t read French, just copy and paste the sections (really it’s only the last couple of lines that will be hard to figure out) into Google Translate and you’ll be all set.
Vision and Contact Lenses
I have a condition called keratoconus and even with glasses, the vision in my right eye is really bad. With both eyes I can see pretty well, but the moment I close my left, even with the glasses, light bounces all around and the world gets very very fuzzy. Soft contacts can’t deal with this, …
Plays 8 and 10
Not much to say about these. I’m not posting play 9 because it’s a bit too personal to share in public, at least right now.
Play 7 – Drinking with Caliban
Yes, I’m running at a three day deficit in this project and maybe I’ll catch up and maybe I won’t. To stress out or get anxious about meeting an artificial challenge like this would be to allow a challenge to become a burden. Will I try to catch up? Sure, but if I don’t it will be just fine.
This is the first script I’ve written for the 31 Days project without knowing what I was going to write as I opened up my script program to a blank document. I literally was staring at the blank screen without a clue as to what would emerge. Then the rocky shore came to mind and the thought: what if Miranda went back one day? To the island? This is also the first play in this series that I feel could bear significantly more expansion that what is here, though I think it is self-contained and gets to a kernel of what I wanted to explore. Perhaps. Who knows.
Play 6 – Li’s Step
I’m behind. Oh well.
I had planned to write a Mars play before the prompt the other day, and this is not exactly what I planned to write, so there very well may be more Mars play’s later in this series. This one is less about Mars and more about what it might mean to witness, or not witness such an event. For one man.
As always, interested in your thoughts.
