Sunday Morning and Writing Schedule: The Cottage of Blog
The Cottage of Blog
It's 10 on Sunday morning. I'm starting late this morning. I went to a play "On Top of the Tavern," and I'm ashamed to say I can't remember the exact title. All I know it was a play I'd never heard of and one of the funniest plays I've ever seen. But funny in a "oh yes, I recognized this, Oh yes that happened in our family, and Oh yes, that was the kid down the block, at our church, at our school."
It was about growing up in the 50's in a Polish-catholic household.
The friends (except Bruce and myself) were all polish catholic and related to EVERYTHING. I related to everything because I taught in a catholic school for a year and grew up in a catholic neighborhood. I was one of two protestant familys and on Jewish family on the block. So, that made one Episcopalian, one Lutheran and one Jewish. Out little melting pot.
The play was a little frightening too. Not only did it deal with kids frustrations of "coming of age" in a rigid society, but it dealt with child abuse and alcohol abuse and how the old ruler on the knuckles when expanded from the school into the old school household turned from ruler to broomhandle and ruined a youngster's baseball career. (the father in the play) You could see the growth of the characters--and how one youngster (the lead) was the questioner of the family. And he questioned EVERYBODY, INCLUDING HIS 80 year old nun. In one scene, he visits her in the hospital and wears a yamika (I know I spelled that wrong) and greeted her with "Shalom." Then gave her a rosary he created himself out of "Tricks" a breakfast cerial.
So much for that. I'm trying to figure out how to created a calendar on my sidebar to show my writing schedule. I know what it is, but seeing it blaring out at me everytime I hit this blog, will provide me with my own version of the ruler over the knuckles.
Happy reading, writing and revising from:
