Hi, there!
Indirections in Changefulness is my personal and professional retrospective on how we change. Covering more than 40 years spent with individuals and institutions in transition, the stories I am remembering as I write them–amazing how that works–might spark indirections of your own.
To those who have provided much-needed feedback on my writing project, THANK YOU!! Taking your suggestions to heart, my sentences and posts are growing shorter by the week–for the most part–and not this one, which just seems to want to go on and…
This week’s post, Boundary Objects, begins what I expect will take two more tries to complete. (My first cliffhanger!) Part One explains why college students in the 1930s swallowed goldfish and introduces Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while questioning the word order of its label.
Last week I tidied up an earlier draft of Mark’s Bookshelf, indirections from Professor Magleby’s cosmic prank on my home library. If you haven’t read how Mark made off with 300 books from my basement without removing a single one, you’re in for a postmodern heist.
I also wrote Performing “on Broadway”: Or How I Inadvertently–and then Intentionally–Impersonated a Secret Service Agent at a Special Preview of The Phantom of the Opera. I pressed Publish just as the curtain went up on one of Phantom‘s final Broadway performances, attended by my daughter’s family 35 years to the day after my trench coat shenanigans.
Finally, if you’re curious about how this project got its start, you’ll want to begin with my maiden post, Something to Write About. It explains how my career began and why, after all these years, I’m just now getting round to writing about it.
As always, if you have enough to fill your inbox without these unsolicited entries, telling me so is valuable feedback indeed.
