Using both at the same time would be preposterous.

The former dear reader known as Charles Edward Pogue just left this nice post on my Facebook page:

"BK, just finished RICHARD AND ME.  Kudos.  A warm, lovely, and loving memoir and tribute to a talented man and obviously a dear friend to you.  Sorry I never met him.  I'll have listen to LEVI again this weekend.  Hope all's well by you.  "I'm staying young"...but probably not as young as you..."

Pub crawls are all the rage, but I feel that the idea of a BAKERY crawl has a lot of potential.

Some things are beginning to irritate about the show. Mostly it has to do with the secondary characters. The actors and the writing. Also, the repetition of lines of dialogue as an echo is growing old.

The book Matching Minds with Sondheim, about his games and puzzles. keeps getting delayed, too.

A new edition of the script to Merrily We Roll Along was supposed to finally be published on November 19, 2024 (the original pub date was even earlier).  But it still hasn't happened. >:(
