Today was to have been a deep theory post. The last show may have been a watershed. I want to get it all down in a post a) to help organize my thoughts and b) as a matter of record to see if the understandings are permanent. Unfortunately, coughing and sniffling are sapping energy fromContinue reading “Taking A Short Break”

Freudian Typing
The Literary Horse reappears after many months away. Yeah! Happy dance! Writes five posts. Disappears again. Boo! Recently, I troll past to see if any activity. No sign. Again boo. Reread last few posts, including – hangs head in embarrassment – my own comments. The post in question, Hello My Name Is…, is about remembering namesContinue reading “Freudian Typing”
New Occasion For Helmet

The Respect Dance
Footwork pattern for the Respect Dance: Two steps forward – into my personal space. Four steps backward – get the hell out of my personal space, done in double-time. Rodney never needs this. It would be good if he did. He might be happier if he had the confidence to test his boundaries occasionally. OnContinue reading “The Respect Dance”
