Impressive

I just saw a fascinating old interview with British doctor, director, sculptor, author and really funny guy Jonathan Miller. Incredibly impressive.

A couple of decades ago, Phil Donahue said that, from his experience as an interviewer, women tend to have conversations while men make speeches.

The dangers inherent in beginning a blog are by themselves impressive, so lets begin with number one: boring everyone because I’m trying hard to be impressive.

My youngest son says when I tell jokes, really set them up and expect the laugh, I’m not as funny. Maybe most kids are appalled when dads tell jokes. I don’t think that’s what he meant.

I’m guessing that whatever is inherently valuable in my voice and viewpoint appears only occasionally and when I don’t try too hard.

So there it is, danger number 1.

More to come.
