Glad you made it this far, stay a while

.... 5th inning, you're two runs behind. What pitch do you throw to a left-handed batter who is a spray hitter with runners on first and third? What is offsides in soccer, anyway?

.... you're off on the wings, just offstage, and hear your cue. A lump forms in your throat. It's your first opera workshop.

.... a blank page is staring you down before a first, fledgling poem takes shape.

I hope this blogger site gets you in the mood to go for it on the field, on the stage, in published form, in real life.

World Cup Donuts for Germany

This is my kind of (coffee and) kuchen. US-style donuts covered with ice-cream sprinkles to help get into the spirit of things during the World Cup in 2010. I begged the Hamburg woman behind the counter at the Langenhorn-Markt U-Bahn station to allow me to take her picture - she had hash-marked her cheeks with Red, Yellow and Black for Germany. She finally allowed me a couple days later. But I think the donuts are the hit. Germany finished in 3rd place again after going far in 2006. Mesut Özil and Sami Khedira impressed, even wowed audiences, and Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose also were stalwart producers. The way they romped past England and Argentina capture the hearts of many fans the world over.
