Mom and I watched Damn Yankees last night, and it was refreshing to see a man who was true to himself through the whole movie. It was also refreshing to watch something without sex hijacking the plot. It was there, but it wasn’t like a heavy smog–choking everything else with its presence. What you might call realistic, actually.
WRITING PROMPT: Write a scene in which sexual presence is one of many components but far from important to the action. Good one for Sunday, eh?

Kaye, what instrument did you play? I played trumpet in the band, but my friend Jane played violin (or, as those classy enough to be ironic called it, fiddle) in the orchestra. She sometimes played in pit orchestras for musicals and operettas.
