My question for ASK BK DAY - Do you have a favorite among the Golden Age of Broadway newspaper reviewers?

The bulbs are changed and Thatch is happy to have the ladder back.  I store it in a cul de sac created by the bookcases next to my bed.  He like to perch on the ladder steps and watch the parade.

Well, the pains I had yesterday morning in my lower left back are back.  Bt noon yesterday they had eased up, and by late afternoon they were gone.  I got this morning around 4:00am and I felt fine.  At 6:45 I could barely move, so I think it's a pinched nerve.  I don't like it.

Darn.  VIBES THEY GO AWAY AND STAY AWAY!

One of my best friends from college is coming to town. Taking the day off Friday. Jim decided he wanted to see the missions, which I think will be fun. We’ve got a fairly decent year for bluebonnets, and they should be in full bloom st the missions.

I am looking forward to photos of bluebonnets.

You can drive along the river from mission to mission on bicycle. It’s about 10 miles total from the first mission to the fourth. But i think we’re going by car.

Can you walk it?  I would enjoy that.

I'm just checking in here before I go to the first of 2 events today at the library where my career began.  First up, a discussion of the book Lab Girl, which my other group read some time ago.  Hope I remember enough to contribute to the conversation.  Later this afternoon we'll go back for the geology professor's monthly national park lecture.  Today's topic is Grand Canyon.

I overslept by an hour (or more).  I woke up with Nick yelling at me.

Our pre-spring heat wave is probably in its last day.  It may reach the seventies just as Spring arrives.

Today is the old actors lunch.  I should probably wear a nametag so they remember who I am.

I suppose I could switch off to a hamburger or a sandwich, but pizza means leftovers.

I didn't sleep very well for most of the night.  I fell into a really deep sleep around 6:30.

Which, of course, requires me to first get into the shower.

I'm relieved we don't have to think up some "how many orchestrators does it take..." jokes.

BK what did you think about the ending of Safe?   I thought the final villian was implausible considering all that went before

I agree.  But that's what these series do - every episode has to have a bit cliffhanger and new potential villain, and then they always need the "wow" moment at the end, the final thing and they don't care how implausible it is.  I found it ALL implausible after episode five.

I must say, I haven't read a lot of the Golden Age critics, but Walter Kerr, whether one agrees or not, was a good writer.

When I was a teen I read a collection of reviews by Walter Kerr.....titled I think Pieces At Eight....  Even though at that time I didn't know anything about a lot of the shows, it was most entertaining.....
