The Modern Prometheus

Watching Frankenstein on Hallmark Channel. Enjoyable. Going to see Mitch Hedberg and Steven Lynch in Ann Arbor (U of M) on Nov. 12, just have to get my sister to buy the tickets! Plus, I think I may have recruited her to NaNoWriMo.

FPOTD: This is Mitch. He’s an old man of seventy-three who is wearing a mustard colored tweed jacket. He’s not a tall man, but he doesn’t hunch and keeps his little hat tilted back. He’s got a sharp face with buried eyes that are unmistakably hazel in any light. His ropy hands are age-tattooed and the tips of his fingers bend sideways like hinges from the arthritis. Old Mitch walks with a gait that is either cautious or hindered. And yet he doesn’t use a cane.
