I do theatre and things in Michiana. That is, around South Bend and Mishawaka.

We've raised $1222 of our $1600 goal! Your support so far is already benefiting this season's The Spanish Tragedy. We're investing in set pieces that help us stage our shows, inspired by how they were first staged #theatresky #shakespeare #renaissance

This is the theatre company I lead alongside my wife Allison. Help us fund our 2026 season of underperformed plays from the time of Shakespeare!

A small teaser...

Rogues and romance.
Despots and defiance.

I CANNOT WAIT for our next season; we need more $16 donations to make it happen!

Cars depreciate, so keeping what you have and waiting to replace it as long as you're able is almost always the most affordable option.

If you want an electric car but this month isn't right for you, don't rush it. In a couple years there will likely be lots of used EVs for good pricesβ€”cars that people are getting leases on right now from manufacturers and dealers rushing to get their cars out the door while the tax credit's around.

If you need the car for road trips and decide you need faster charging on the road, there are faster-charging, more recent used EVs going for around $20K or less.

Lots of used electric cars are on sale for around $10K after the savings from the tax credit. Dealers usually advertise the price with the tax credit applied. We got our 2017 Bolt for less than that, and its battery is still under warranty for 5 more years.

If you can charge at work or at homeβ€”if there's an outlet where your car sits parkedβ€”then electric cars are better cars. They can accelerate faster and drive more smoothly, they need less maintenance, and they cost less to drive (on our home electric bill, we pay the equivalent of about $1/gallon).

If you're looking to buy a car, consider whether an electric one is right for you... this month especially. The tax credit for electric cars (new AND used) goes away at the end of this month. It's an instant-rebate tax credit, so you can save thousands upfront if you qualify, and most people do.

I'll be at South Bend First Fridays, downtown, with our Chevy Bolt tomorrow evening, part of an event where you can chat with folks about their experience with EVs. What they're like to drive, where/how to charge, what to look for, whatever you want to chat about. Come see me!

Watch Ponyboi for a great fiction film and Every Body for a great documentary! There's a lot to learn, and this documentary is a good watch.

Learned about it because one of the three featured people is River Gallo. I just watched River in "Ponyboi", the first feature film starring and written by an openly intersex person. It was a fantastic film, a great balance of action/suspense and substance.

"The treatment of intersex young people is totally based in this 1950s ideology of creating men, and women." β€” watching "Every Body", a doc focusing on three intersex Americans.

I am thoroughly AMPed β€” audition for this show!
13 years ago, The Spanish Tragedy was the first play I ever directed. This time I can't wait to audition for director @allisonpajor.bsky.social. Who wouldn't want to be part of the defining English revenge tale?

Also, gas stations feel like insanity (and my god the COMMERCIALS) when I can just plug in our EV in our driveway.

I'm reminded of how much better our Bolt is to drive, when once a month I drive our gas car for my commute so it doesn't die from lack of use.

Republicans are voting NOW to help the rich get richer at the cost of everyone else AND tax clean energy industries out of existence while making us breathe more coal (and upping our energy bills to do it)

Great day for the bike ride part of the bike-train commute home from Chicago. Closed road alongside the trail means that in this spot, bird chirps overwhelm the sound of car noise in the distance.
