Frost has sharped the chord of these days at the end of the middle season, stacked hierarchal: frost, some warmth, chilled darkness.  The sun is now low, mellow, dropping over the horizon with the settling purple mist; putting the tent and crib in a minor key.   Back in the day circus-bands filled our tent, now being reused for our reunion.  Outdoors the winds have returned and so we are seeking to use this space more fully, even if the audience is largely a chilled mural painted warm.

We are trying to take notes, hand-writen on 3×5 cards,  in order to record the dialogue here at the reunion.  Our notes (meant for dialogue in short plays to be produced during this reunion) include a significant number of expressions beginning with, “Back in the day…”  to which is added some proof-of-knowing utterance.  “Back-in-the-day”… plus the ideal life as it should have been (or worse than it ever was).  Enfant terribles and anarchists are apt to gesture widely about some unendurable disgrace “Back-In-The-Day!…”; remembering why they have those emotion bombs.  Emotive’s convoluting sentences, history, logic structures, and interchanging superstitions, dramatized into whatever that “day” was.   This seems like stuff for theater!

From the out-set (back  in the day) we have been trying for a feeling of bon homme gentility, so that all can benefit while sharing this grand theater.  , “back in the day…” expressions have introduced script ideas by generic geniuses from both sides of the grave, many concerning social more than theatrical roles.

Some,”Back in the day…”,  expressors emanate expressions so droll as to embrace condescending sympathies.  Some point a terrible infant’s attitude toward hierarchies and embrace the caustic use of words and postures.

As it is, “back in the day ” theatricals will be here this winter.  Now, posturing for character parts in the unwritten theatricals, anarchists try (to a degree) to be nonchalant and disinterested (cool).

To whit, attempting to influence discreetly; so as not to be stuck in a previously discarded drama from, “Back in the day…”

Next week we enjoy some thick stew…join us.
