TOD: I saw the original Planet of the Apes in the theater when I was a kid. I don't remember the audience, I just remember being shocked at the ending. I've had no desire to see any of the sequels.

BK, if you're taking Flonase, I'd recommend taking regular Claritin, not Claritin-D. Otherwise you're getting a double dose of different decongestants, which may sound like a good thing, but isn't. I'm no doctor of course, but I've been dealing with allergies since the original Planet of the Apes was in theaters.

And I got a new blurb for the book from Liz Callaway!
A love story for the ages—whimsical, touching, and delightfully theatrical. Starring two talking cats and a Broadway orchestrator who found family in the most unexpected way. Perfect for musical theatre lovers and cat enthusiasts alike, with charming illustrations by Jeremy Clayton.

Most excellent.

I made some shrimp mac and cheese because it doesn't take long and heat up the kitchen too much.

Did Mr. Stephen Sondheim ever express his opinion of Mr. Cole Porter?

I don't remember reading it if he did.

I don't remember reading it if he did.

I have this memory that he had dinner with Cole Porter and other folk (Merman, maybe?) at Porter's home during the creation of GYPSY.

We have been in line outside for over an hour. We're hoping there's at least one kitten left.

I don't remember reading it if he did.

Page 212 in the first volume of Sondheim's collected lyrics is his long assessment of Cole Porter as a lyricist.

I don't remember reading it if he did.

In his lyric books, Sondheim had high praise for Porter for always landing the right syllable on the right beat, something he hated about Hart’s and Ira’s lyrics.
