Jane, if I only had one day on Cyprus, I would probably stay in Limassol.

The overture for Li'l Abner is great, and I am sorry that the powers that be decided not to import it into the film adaptation.

Otherwise, though, as film adaptations go, it's pretty faithful to the stage show.

Happy Sunday, all!

I have survived another birthday. Thanks to you for sharing it with me!

I am now three-quarters of a century old.

I sometimes feel three-quarters of a century old.

I have lately pondered whether I would do it all again. Perhaps, if I knew what I "know" about life (not particulars, but what to look out for and what to avoid) it might be worth doing again. That sentiment is based on being 21 again, which would take me back to 1969.

If there were a pill, a shot or a procedure that would youthen me in the present, I don't think I'd want to bother. It is one thing to be my current age and unable to relate to much of what younger people are now doing/enjoying. It is quite another to have the values I have developed and to find no one else remotely aware of those values.

Ah, me. Perhaps this "cycle" of life business is for the best. I can think of nothing more tragic than anyone actually being immortal, living on earth as things change and having people come into your life and then die.

Never mind. This is me "belaboring" the Labor Day weekend.

Or, as they said in ancient Rome, ora labora.

How I miss those old Roman days!

Just to be clear, under no circumstances should you drink uranium dioxideperoxide.

Happy Sunday...I hope everyone is having a great long weekend. Today on The Broadway Radio Show: author Thomas Hischak chats about his new book Broadway Decoded, a fun reference guide to all those pop culture references mentioned in musicals like Follies, The Music Man, On The Town, and many, many more!

From George:

Quote

The reason that there was foam on top of the shelter is because it used to be under a walnut tree and when the walnuts fell off the tree, they would hit the metal roof and scare the crap out of the chickens.

We had multiple acorn trees in Ashland. When they would fly off of the trees and hit our windows it sounded as if we were under attack. Poor chickens wouldn't understand why they were being attacked.

What a job you had, but it must feel good knowing the chickens will be comfortable.

Can we easily walk around the town? I seems we can walk into town from the ship.

Interesting thoughts on your birthday, especially about being a youth in the present.

The Age of Adaline, which I watched yesterday, deals with some of these issues.
