I don’t remember where I got these cards, but they’re kinda nifty. I have exactly 4 of them. I have looked for more cuz they’re just so darn neat, but apparently the series or game or whatever went off in other directions and...
Do you have any idea how hard it is to take a photo pointing down a tree trunk? Ok – I’ll admit it – this tree was actually at an angle to the path I was walking! It was a trip, but very cool. This was taken in Rocky Mountain...
I like the dynamics of the improv group. We meet, eat, toss some prompts down and see where our brains take us. Pressure? Sure – but it’s the good kind. Gets your blood pumping, your imagination churning. I love when we all write...
