Thanks for that video link, DR George.
This cute dog is Damu. He was in foster from the New York animal shelter. The day after the sonsabitches posted this video of him in foster on their YouTube channel, they killed him. This senseless killing of adoptable animals is horrifying.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrVi-zKkvg
Reassuring news has arrived and I am reassured.
I had a dream that I was having dinner at Steve Sondheim's house. I was helping in the kitchen. He asked me to put the rolls on the table. And I turned to him and said:I sort of hate to ask it,But do you have a basket?

When Balanchine gave the budget for the 1954 production to City Center, they fought the price to build the tree. Balanchine told them, the ballet is the Christmas tree.The tree is the worst thing when it comes to attending "local" productions.Maybe there's a book in "Nutcracker" disasters? There are several on stage and opera mishaps, but I've never seen one for ballet.

The bathroom ceiling has been quiet and leak-free for the past month. But today, the streak ended. A new soaking. This despite the management replacing the shower/tub in the apartment directly above us. Sigh.
I don't know about a book, but there's at least one video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f7of9ElXX0
DR ChasSmith, DR John G., DR Laura -In your Spring gardening, did any of you plant one of these?
