I hate being late for bed. Ruins my whole day.
I dabbled in theater, and wish I'd done more in my day,
but I knew there was something I really liked about you,
and that must be it.

I discovered theater in my last year of college, and have been in community theater ever since. Thought I was going to have to give it up when I moved to Alaska thirty years ago, but a company was coming out of hiatus just as we arrived, and I've been heavily involved ever since. Our town attracts tourists from around the world, and many have claimed that we are as good as, or better than, big-city, professional theater. Possible hyperbole, but you get the idea. I'll be on my way to the high school in moments to help direct this year's musical. I think I'd rather perform, but working with the students is wonderful, and I'm exploring the possibility of directing a show this summer. I haven't picked one yet.

To keep this on topic, there are those who think I FLED to Alaska.

I'd like to flee from here to Alaska.
How does the song go, "North to Alaska"???
I was in plays in high school and college, and worked
with kids in teaching. I enjoyed acting, but I also
enjoyed being "behind the scenes".

Tromboniator My life is filled with hidden meaning, enigmatic smithereening, impervious to clever gleaning, brain is often baffled. Once I was engaged in teening; decades, eons intervening. Have to take mind in for cleaning. Better if it's raffled.

Doggerel by P. Tromboniator
I'm impressed..especially by the last word...which I looked up, cause I wondered how it 'fitted'. Raffle a jangle or tangle; a rabble, raff, or riff-raff of persons or things.
Examples: raffle of conversation, 1891; of cords; of intorted cordage, 1892; of flying drapery; of knaves, 1486; of priests and friars, 1670; of spars.

Yeah nice doggerel, Peter Tromboniater (see what I mean?). But perhaps the references to the sounds of words could also be as much actor as poet. When you do start playing and experimenting with language, do share?
