Not the beer.

It's the end of Year Four - and I'm giving up on Guinness.
Not the beer.
I don't drink beer.
But I was hoping for one shot at the Guinness Book of World Records. Ok, maybe not with my most unusual skill - moth killing, which I am very good at, but if you have read these monologues (Day # 309) I need to be doing that in the middle of the night, naked, and really don't think my kids could handle a very strange recording for proof.
So it was going to be a monologue a day. Every day, for a year. Who else has done that? A better question - what crazy person would want to do this?
Let alone .....can it really be?.....four years? But I fear the worst - that this amazing feat is not properly recorded. And, it is with a sad heart that I must admit -some of these are repeats. (Not this one!) Out of the 1461, I imagine a few hundred are actually taken from earlier and ...used again!- some due to the days and times - a good one about Christmas has to return for the holiday! - and some because.....I am tired. Physically tired. I am a caregiver for several people, and often the monologue is penned in the last moments before midnight, my head twitching from exhaustion.
But, to be fair, if it's one page a monologue, then many days were much longer - and quite a few are actually one-acts. And of these four years, dozens of these have been performed - maybe more than dozens, since I really don't know. I ask people to contact me, but ...such is the internet.
Below are the ones I know have been done - and yes, some were written before I started the monologue mania blog, and yes, when I am tired I slide in older work! So shoot me! Ok, maybe don't shoot me, because then.....my reign as monologue maniac would be.....over.....
(I turn to leave, stop, look back)
For those who have to ask....'is she continuing this madness?' I say......You'll see..
You'll see..in your email tomorrow! To another year! Thank you all for reading and commenting!
