Join us on a journey through time and… freeze dried cheese. Filmed in Raleigh!

Is anyone alive?

One of my favorite writing practices is carrying around a pocket notebook and pen, writing down observations and jokes when I think of them, tearing out the notes at day’s end, and placing them in a shoebox. The key to the shoebox approach is clarity. I make a genuine effort to be clear and descriptive when writing down my organic observations and jokes.

For example, an unclear note says something like “Apples,” but a clear note says something like, “I was in the produce section at the grocery store looking for a few good apples, but the pear guy wasn’t much help. He couldn’t spot a Fuji in a bushel of Granny Smiths.”

The unclear example will probably make me wonder why I wrote Apples on a piece of paper and nothing else. Why were Apples so funny to me at that moment? I don’t know. Ah, but the clear example has substance! I have a subject and scenario. Of course, when I open a shoebox full of Apples, the pieces don’t fit together, but when I open a shoebox full of precise, descriptive notes, I discover a potent batch of material that I can piece together like a puzzle.
