Just came back from a walk along the river.  I didn't bring a camera so I can't show what I saw which was basically nothing...

I just found out that if you join the Warner Insider's Program (free) you automatically get 25% off the Warner Archives titles.  There's some interesting titles in the latest batch, including Preminger's St. Joan, The Eddie Cantor Story, Picasso Summer (which I've never seen), and Man And A Woman: 20 Years Later, which I've also never seen.

DtM, I have been meaning to mention for some time, since your quote is from Nin, DS Betsy was hired to do a birthday comedy set for an elderly Jewish woman here in Portland from one of the 'old money' families.  This woman had been a personal friend of Anais Nin's, and Nin had come several times to her house to stay, so Betsy had to come up with a slew of Anais Nin jokes, no easy task.  :)

Grrrrr...  During the past two weeks I've bought pricey navel oranges at two different stores and they were all partially dried up inside.

Jrand, what airport would I fly in to?  The Olympia production isn't until the end of April, so it's probably two separate trips.  I'll try to price out the flight to Indiana.

I can't imagine much more than "That Anais Nin--what's up with her?"

She actually did several very clever jokes (which I may have helped a little with, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say n'more) where Nin toured various landmarks in and around Portland and they became sexualized.  ;)  Also she did a running gag about Henry Miller showing up at the house.

My mother started laughing hysterically one day in the mid-1960's when she heard a news report that the SLC airport was now "International" because there was a weekly flight from Canada coming in.
