LATE FOR WORK AGAIN!I was running late for work. Sure it was the third time in a week, but I was still wrestling with waking up after having been out or the office much of the past year. I parked a couple blocks away and began walking fast toward the office. Down at the other end of the street a tank faced me, technically it was a military assault vehicle. Thing is, it had its gun trained on my position. I stopped. Then the hatch opened above the gun turret and my boss popped his head out. Uh, look you need to move away from the building. What?! I stood frozen in fear.

Patterns are not only in our lives but in the skies, on the page and in the actions of school mates and co-workers and family members. Patterns are also important in improv game play.

If the average human gained 24 pounds during the pandemic how much weight are the lizards gaining around my house? That would be the question “if” I were not writing about improv. Then again it is also a question that is very improv appropriate. How so you may ask? Life is one big continuous improv scene except when you are in the scripted moments and those moments are few like basically your time reading stats on last weeks widget sales to your boss.
