Newsletter – September 4, 2026 PHOTO: NBC When I was twenty I had little interest in Dolly Parton, her music was too twangy, her costumes were too glittery, and her chest size was too, too big. That was the year 9 to 5 came out. I respected Jane Fonda for her superb acting and I… Continue reading Margerumalia – Dolly Parton Reflections
Newsletter – August 28, 2026 I’m excited to share some of the pages of my upcoming book of children’s poetry. It’s called Verses Versus Curses, which is also the name of the first poem in the book. I call it a book of poems for the young and for the young at heart. I like… Continue reading Margerumalia – A Sneak Peek
My favorite illustrator just posted this! We’ll miss you, Dolly.
Newsletter – August 21, 2026 Looks kind of intimidating all in caps with red drop shadows like that, but it’s quite the opposite. It’s the prescription for better health through “social connection and community-based activity.” I heard about social prescribing through a story on the PBS News Hour podcast and it made me think about… Continue reading Margerumalia – Social Prescribing
Newsletter – August 10, 2026 OOPS! I accidentally tapped on a button that sent out my Friday morning newsletter on Monday afternoon. My bad. On the other hand, this gave me the chance to update you on the ongoing saga of the Kitty Mamas. Which hadn’t hadn’t happened yet. So this gives me a chance… Continue reading Margerumalia – Return of the Kitty Mamas
Newsletter – August 10, 2026 Does that title sound like a pastiche of Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles? I hope it does, because that’s the intent. Here’s how it came about. During the dress rehearsal of the short play festival in June I was sitting in the audience with my friend Steve Martin (not… Continue reading Margerumalia – The Bound of the Basketballs
Newsletter – August 7, 2026 I recently enjoyed a LibriVox recording of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. I think I’ve now read or listened to every Sherlock Holmes story by Doyle, but I plan to get out my checklist to make sure I haven’t missed any. LibriVox has… Continue reading Margerumalia – The Hound of the Baskervilles
Newsletter – July 31, 2026 We were surprised! We started putting out the animal traps to catch the kittens and send them to the Humane Shelter, but Tommy (the tomcat) decided he’d like a bite of that kitten food and walked right into the cage on the porch. Clang! The door slammed shut when he… Continue reading Margerumalia – The Ol’ Snip and Clip
Newsletter – July 24, 2026 I was reading a post on Substack the other day when another short play started germinating in my mind. While I was on my morning walk I started writing it in my head. The Substack author, Sasha Brown-Worsham, described an incident that happened to her 19-year-old daughter. She was at… Continue reading Margerumalia – Girl Dads
Newsletter – July 17, 2026 I was invited to join the Greater Lafayette Playwrights last month just as the group was planning an evening of short play staged readings around the fictional small town of Fuguesburg. (Aptly pronounced FEW-guess-burg for our presentation.) A menu of possible scenarios had been created for the playwrights to dabble… Continue reading Margerumalia – A Fuguesburg Fourth
