Mise-en-Scène:  1. Theatre. The staging of a play; the scenery and properties of a stage production; the stage setting. 2. The setting, surroundings, or background of any event or action.

...so here's a little slice of the mise-en-scène of my life...

"Greater than scene...is situation.  Greater than situation is implication.  Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined to any frame."

--Eudora Welty (1909-2001)
