How long since a proper romp? I've been in rant mode, I declare. Not really surprising given the horrendous waste and venality of the Bush years.
Among other pleasures (like watching George Clooney in "Michael Clayton"), I've been devising word games as a break. Here's one:
Write a series of declarative sentences about yourself; alternate truth and lies. Start with the truth or a lie, it doesn't matter. Go on until you run out of steam. For example:
>> I have brown hair
>> My brown eyes are farsighted
>> I have a strong back
>> My feet are flat
>> I'm avid for shellfish
>> Cantalope makes me gag
>> I drive very little
>> High speeds thrill me
>> My desk is usually tidy
>> My bed has satin sheets
>> Dry martinis win me every time
>> I never drink alone
>> When I'm thirsty, I drink
>> They would not take my blood at the Red Cross
>> I like to keep up with the news
>> I used to write for the NY Times
>> My desk is made of oak
>> I have no time to write
