Funny!

But is that the case, that a weighted blanket will help with anxiety?

This IS a question that others on another chat area have wondered about, and I'm wondering whether - for Ask BK Day - anyone here has thoughts on this:

This number on Colbert
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrYSE6PQsk
was Audra McDonald performing "Some People" - with just the spoken line for Papa thrown in by the conductor. 

But before the number and after the number, Colbert clearly calls it a performance by "Audra McDonald and the Broadway company of GYPSY".  Is there a business reason for describing who's performing the number that way?  (Maybe how much people are paid, or anything like that?)

I figured it was the GYPSY musicians that were referred to as "the company."

Substack.

Substack abuse is becoming a 2020s problem with some online people.

Saturday night is the night of George Clooney's play on CNN and of course the Tony Awards on Sunday night.

Jrand, have you ever thought of doing a version of your play especially for online video?  Are there any actor rules that would stop you from doing that?

Please remember - it's not a professional video - they do this for archival purposes and, for me, it's a record of the staging. But you'll get the idea, hopefully. Looking forward to thoughts.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Lordy! After kitty cleanup, I took a bath, got dressed and made the bed. Then, at 10:30, I lay down wth Stella and dozed for three hours, Is it the humidity? It's humid outside and the temperature is heading into the 80s today.

But reaching page 3 before 2:30 pm might make for an intermission well spent.
