Abandoned and forgotten

A notebook? – In the box.

Half eaten box of candy? – In the box.

Expensive fountain pen.  – In the box

Umbrella, after umbrella, after umbrella.  – In the box.

The items abandoned at the end of an board.  Participants anxious to catch their flights and perhaps a little forgetful about what they brought.  

All these items go in the box, unremembered until something goes wrong and story needs to be created.

An investigating attorney, Gilbert Meggs, starts sorting through the remains of a failed board meeting with Lyndy Zoost, the senior staff to the board.

Not About Kittens

Sometimes you talk about Kittens.

They’re cute.

They’re silly.

They’re endlessly diverting.

Much more entertaining than cats

So sometimes you talk about kittens when you should be talking about the cats in the room

What is the most important thing to do before a corporate board meeting?  Let us rephrase that, what is the most important thing to do if you are Wow and Flutter, long-term members of the Executive Board for the Society for the Promotion of Goodness or SPoG, as this drama abbreviates it?  

The answer is complicated.  You have to check the schedule, book any interesting side trips – shows, museums, and restaurants mostly.  Finally, you have to prepare your wardrobe because you always need to look your best. Lamas or Basquiats?  This is the question.  And the answer depends on the state of the board, the agenda, and what might be happening after the meeting adjourns.

“The Closest I’ve Come to Death?” A query that comes with a story of impatience, indiscretion or poor judgement. For Alec Effson, it is a question that repeatedly asks why she is on a battlefield, what she expects to gain from the experience and who she will be when she returns to a life that is safely behind the front lines. Her story is one of ambition, of a desire to be stronger, smarter, more influential and a reminder of the costs demanded of such desire. .

Second world war.

Battle of the Bulge. 

Allied Troops pushed back by Germany’s last desperate offensive.

Iin this environment, a group of daring entertainers travelled to the front to support the morale of tired soldiers.    They went to places where the USO would not go.  They often performed standing on the hood of a jeep.  

This story is told in the novel Jeep Show by Robert O’Connor.  This is an excerpt from that book.

Not as expected. Battles never go as planned. A research team in the field adds another complication to the story. Partly fighters. Partly observers, though not exactly innocent. Our professor is retreating through the back country, looking forward to seeing her friend and sharing her accomplishments. But this is the end. And it ends the only possible way a battle can end.
