Eleven years ago today I posted this on Facebook:
And I am home from a wonderful show, Kritzerland at the Triad, featuring the songs of the Sherman Brothers. It was quite a wonderful evening and Bruce Kimmel was a charming, funny host, just the kind you want because you know that with him as a guide the journey will be fun, a little crazy perhaps, and full of heart.


Very nice!

From DR George:



Thanks. I don't know if I have had allulose or not.  I do not like stevie.  It also has other additives, as most of these drinks do.

I will buy something to keep if I have an emergency, otherwise I will continue doing what I already do, drink plenty of water.  I often drink water with lightly salted peanuts and these drinks all have salt/potassium added.

At least it works again!

I had that happen once before so I was sure the book would return eventually.

DR George, if you do ride in the car if a sick person, both of you should wear masks and then you should air the car out.

I got a photo of the packaging the poster arrived in bent. BIG STAMPS all over it saying DO NOT BEND. Well, someone at UPS bent the thing in half as is very clear in the photo. I'll file a claim after rehearsal.

Darn.

I expected to have to restart my tablet yesterday to get my book back.  It loaded fine without doing that.

And another anniversary:

On this date exactly one hundred years ago, the premiere of The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney.

That should be your next Lon Cheney movie, MichaelG.

Ah, so The Unknown was my second Lon Chaney movie. But I saw Phantom a very long time ago.

TOD: For Michael Keaton, Birdman is my favorite. After that would be Batman and Batman Returns.

Has anyone watched Twelfth Night yet on PBS?

I didn't know Twelfth Night was on PBS! Is this last year's Public Theatre performance? I think it was last year.

It's the Public Theatre one from this past summer in Central Park.


https://playbill.com/article/with-twelfth-night-great-performances-is-showing-that-it-is-defunded-but-not-defeated

"on November 14, Great Performances will broadcast Twelfth Night. And not just any production of Twelfth Night—the one that ran this summer at Shakespeare in the Park in New York starring Lupita Nyong'o, Peter Dinklage, Sandra Oh, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and a host of other well-known names."

I was very disappointed he did not win best actor for Sleuth.
