Petesophizing...: I Will Be Brief (imported from my Hamlet blog)
http://petesophizing.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-will-be-brief.html
Theater, Books, Opinion, Milwaukee. I Will Be Brief (imported from my Hamlet blog). Sunday, May 25, 2008. From an interesting young economist named Ian Ayres. I've read his book called Supercrunchers). Perpend:. People who say that theyâ re going to be brief often arenâ t. Indeed, the very time taken to say that you are going to be brief works to negate the claim. Why people start with "I'll be brief":. One of the problems is that people underestimate how long they speak. It would be useful at Quaker mee...

http://petesophizing.blogspot.com/2009/09/less-severe-kind-of-ptsd.html
Theater, Books, Opinion, Milwaukee. A Less Severe Kind Of PTSD. Thursday, September 03, 2009. I've been diagnosed as having intrusive memories- basically, a less severe kind of PTSD. These two would be among the most frequent and most unnerving in my Rolodex. But I think they're less impact-ful than one that came shuddering in again this afternoon. Freaks me out every time. God, I don't want to become that guy. Posted by Petey, 3:36 PM. Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Arts and Letters Daily.

Petesophizing...: December 2006
http://petesophizing.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Theater, Books, Opinion, Milwaukee. Friday, December 15, 2006. While I was stringing some Christmas lights outside this afternoon a bird flew up the driveway at high speed and perched on the neighbor's fence. I managed to get this picture. It's a female Cooper's Hawk. She flew to the top of a telephone pole and back to the fence several times. Note the neighbor's bird feeder in the background. Here's a stock photo that's the spitting image of her. Posted by Petey, 5:35 PM link. Saturday, December 09, 2006.

Petesophizing...: A Fan And A Supporter
http://petesophizing.blogspot.com/2009/08/fan-and-supporter.html
Theater, Books, Opinion, Milwaukee. A Fan And A Supporter. Sunday, August 16, 2009. I wanted just to receive Sarah Palin's Facebook missives but I fear I'm now listed as a "fan" and among her "supporters". Am I right? I was supposed to just subscribe to her notes? I feel like an elderly Florida Jewish woman pressing a ballot to my forehead and accidentally voting for Pat Buchanan. Made an excellent semantic data compression by calling Sarah Barracuda, "Sarahcuda". I was on that one a long time ago. While...

Petesophizing...: August 2007
http://petesophizing.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Theater, Books, Opinion, Milwaukee. Sunday, August 19, 2007. I wouldn't trust that solipsistic necrophile Dr. Jack Kevorkian to determine when I've lost all quality of life. Hugh Hefner is the obvious choice for the right-to-die movement. My choice: Mario Batali. Posted by Petey, 11:35 PM link. It's not so easy to get a picture of a raccoon in the daylight.

Petesophizing...: Launch Sequence To A New Persona
http://petesophizing.blogspot.com/2009/06/launch-sequence-to-new-persona.html
Theater, Books, Opinion, Milwaukee. Launch Sequence To A New Persona. Sunday, June 28, 2009. My dance vocabulary is not sufficient, but even I can identify in Michael Jackson's breakthrough performance in 1983 the following:. Elvis, of course. Vaudville poses (how many bows does he take in the middle of the number, not just after it? There are probably a half dozen references (samples) I recognize but can't pinpoint. (Who in the pantheon used to reach out and shake hands with an imaginary companion?
