I may in the future, though. there's precious little of it in Pueblo.Clowncarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219213001049223673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-29230220221994571122010-08-12T07:55:32.186-06:002010-08-12T07:55:32.186-06:00I agree with Laurita: great post.

Except the cigar smoke makes my throat close up.<br /><br />"people would tell stories of their lives"...<br />and also reenact old Star Trek episodes!<br /><br />(Hm. What a great theme for a short story:<br />100s of years after the apocalypse (not total, obviously), roaming theater troupes act out ST. I never write fiction, but maybe this time...)<br /><br />Are you involved with theater-making anymore yourself? (Besides, of course, the theater of life?)Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-82664283843554596012010-08-11T13:31:53.413-06:002010-08-11T13:31:53.413-06:00thank you laurita.

I think it would make a nice post-apocalypse novel: folks acting out stories from their lives for the community.Clowncarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219213001049223673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-47408357841397164622010-08-10T07:00:43.028-06:002010-08-10T07:00:43.028-06:00Wow.

Reminds me of the story telling sessions my grandfather used to have with us. Old stories from his youth that had new details each time they were told.<br /><br />This is the first thing I read this morning and it has really given me something to think about.
