History of Theatre (I tell people how other people used to pretend to be other other people), actor, and director. Shakespeare, Chaucer, Beowulf and other old stuff. Guitars. Dungeons and Dragons. Husband and Father. He/him.

  1. Just doing a little reading on Roman mime and was reminded of "necesse est multos timeat quem multi timent" - he whom many fear must fear many. Some things never go out of style.

  2. It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
