Anything Goes opening night went well.  Thanks to all for the vibes.

Box office & concessions ran smoothly and we talked to a LOT of folks who just wanted to stand and talk......

Stand and talk. The title of George Bernard Shaw’s next play.

I had no idea of what the last few paragraphs would be and I knew I needed a great ending line - the last line came to me several hours ago so it was just a matter of fashioning the five paragraphs that would precede it.

And it's exactly as I predicted: 461 pages. (Well, I predicted 460). 91,570 words.

Yes - I did do the short story book in the same year as a novel, but this is the first time for two novels in one year.

And then, I needed to add up how much was spent on costumes and concessions so far, so that we can figure if we're on the way to at least breaking even.

Then, I started recording the opera Fire Shut Up in My Bones (Great Performances at The Met on PBS) from my DVR to my computer.

It was the first time that an opera written by an African American had ever performed at The Metropolitan Opera!

It was based on the memoirs of Charles M. Blow, and it deals with some pretty intense events.
