Last summer, as Springfield Little Theatre was heading into its ninetieth season, they reached out and asked if I might be able to create something to help them celebrate 90 years of shows. I was happy to help. So I did the best way I knew how- by creating a Word Portrait painting for them:

It’s been so long that I can’t remember who shot J.R..

Yes, I am aware of this and I think it’s awesome! And if you are curious I once got OUR DOG (‘88 model) up to 90 mph. Had to slow it down ‘cause the buns were shakin’! 🤣🌭🏎️ #keepitoscar #wienermobile #indy500 #HotdoggerVII

“Irrespective of your upbringing, it is irresponsible to say ‘irregardless’.”

A few scenes from my script Bury Me At Phantom Ranch take place on Route 66 in Springfield, MO (for any producers/directors thinking about a Route 66 story). 😉 Other MO locations include St. Louis, Joplin and of course the Uranus Fudge Factory.

How I arrived on Bluesky:

“Our wishes ought not to determine what we shall accept as truth.” - H.C. Orsted

Cue the music… 🎶 We Are The Champions 🎶 😜

The exposition in this trailer is so on the nose (as they say): “Charlotte, how’ve you been?” “Well that might take a while. We haven’t spoken in a year.” “Just thought a brother would want to see his sister.” youtu.be/1gB9h0ELEf0

Opinion: I don't think biopics should be made while the person is still alive.

The correct way to pronounce Peony is… Peony

Haven’t had one in a while, but that Costco hotdog was just what I needed for a late lunch. 🌭

Just caught up on the Severance finale. Wow. Just wow. Amazing show. Gripping, intriguing, want more. Kudos to all involved in creating and bring this story to life. #severance

Mom to kids in the 1970s: 'Look at this mess! Were you raised in a barn?!' Mom to kids in the 2020s: 'Look at this mess! Were you raised in a barn... dominium?!'

#TheGorge was a lot of fun.

Just a normal day in the Ozarks! 😳

Disappointed to learn that the film Flow was not a documentary about hockey hair. #moviesky

Pulled something in my lower back playing hockey last night. I feel for anyone living with back pain. This is no fun.

Random passing thought: The Dude and Shrek have a lot in common. #protagonistsjourney #filmsky

Reacher Season 3 opening up with Blood and Roses 🩸🌹 🎶= 🤌💋 #Reacher #Smithereens #AmericasBand #BloodandRoses #usedtoomanyemojisandhashtags

A wise woman once shared with me this sage piece of wisdom: People act the way they act because they feel the way they feel. If you don't understand someone's actions, dig into what they might be feeling.

We’re up to 6” of snow now. Time to build the luge track! #snowday

It has begun.

A “snow day” haiku: They said expect snow. It has not arrived here yet. Did they lie to us?

This area is so unprepared for what is about to happen. #igaveawaymysnowblowerwhenwemovedhere #snow #getthesledsready

I don’t think that’s how throwback Thursday works: #throwbackthursday #artsky #confused

Inspired (stolen?) from the 1963 film The Crawling Hand. I must have seen it on tv in 1977 or so.

Deep thought from our dinner conversation last night: people need to feel listened to before they will be ready to hear.

Starting a page one rewrite on a script that got 8 on Black List review because not everyone liked it, and I know it can be better/tighter. It was my first attempt at a feature length script. Learned a lot since then and I love the core of the story. #scriptsky #filmsky

Can’t decide if “Unnecessary Chocolate” is better for a band name or an album title.

Severance. Just watched season 2, ep. 4… and wow. So good. #severance
