And the answer is YES - the author of the fan letter is still around and, as it turns out, we'd corresponded on Facebook since 2012. Last correspondence was when she watched all the episodes of Sami.

We had a good show last night! It was the Pay-What-You-Can night, and while we didn't have a large crowd, it also wasn't the smallest. However, they thoroughly enjoyed the show! We had a few bigger laughs than any previous night, so that's good. Only three shows left, then I'll be dedicated to Into the Woods!
then I am going to lunch with my friend Jerry.
Lovely fan letter to MR BK.
Jesse Green's New York Times review of SMASH on Broadway is an out-and-out rave.

"Review: In a Musical Comedy Makeover, ‘Smash’ Lives Up to Its Name
En route to Broadway, the TV series about backstage shenanigans and Marilyn Monroe has been rejiggered, with the same great songs but a whole new plot."
Other reviews were far less kind.

DR Rodzinski, LOL regarding the Sound of Music.

Lemon Pickers Needed (recent newspaper ad)
Sally Mulligan of Coral Springs , Florida, read it. She decided to apply for one of the jobs that most Americans are not willing to do. She submitted her application for a job in a Florida lemon grove, but seemed far too qualified for the job. She has a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan, and a master’s degree from Michigan State University. For several years, she had worked as a social worker, and also as a counsellor.
The foreman studied her application, frowned, and said, "I see you are well educated, and have an impressive resume. However, I must ask, have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?”
"Well, as a matter of fact, I have," she said..."I've been divorced three times, owned two Chryslers, and voted for Trump.”
And now I must take my leave. A young lady's voice lesson awaits.
I wish she had a bit more age and vocal strength, but she is what she is, which is a college junior, and it's a nice little lineup of songs. I think her recital next week will take no more than around 45 minutes, for seven songs and a bit of commentary on her part. Senior recitals have to get more serious, but this will be pleasant enough.

What part? Chania?
Made it to Fredericksburg.
Mailed Mom’s taxes. So that headache is done.

DR Vixmom, "Humpty Dumpty" sounds interesting. You do get around.

Heavens, DR Laura. Did you have a Spring at all?

Spring is generally February and March here.
Ah. Church potluck dishes.
I think the answer was "Mayo."
Miracle Whip is vile stuff.
I read a new book on Kindle while flying across the country. It's called "Vegas Can be Murder." I enjoyed it very much and I especially enjoyed the mention of an album of Classical music by a certain female singer!
The DVD and CDs were $2 each.
Your wish, Laura.

Exactly. Anything with jello makes it a salad.

Edited to add "or Cream Cheese."

A controversial opinion, I know. But I stand by it.
Wordle: 3/6
Mufasa is billed as a musical, yet there is only 17 minutes of music in a two-hour film. It’s worn out it’s welcome.
They really weren't aware of any issues, but there were missing buttons, downbeats, wrong chords and such, but it was all surprisingly smooth and the audience ate it up, show-wise.
