Ok…. a recent trend that has come to the Broadway stage is the reimagining of Hollywood movies as stage musicals.

I’ve been steaming about this most of the evening. For supper I put in a Lasagna for dinner, set the timer, the temperature and walked away. An hour into the cooking time I smelt something burning. I checked the stove and there was a blinking light. I opened the oven, and it was much warmer

Another April Fool’s Day is upon us unfortunately. I usually escape the day unscathed, but this year, that is not the case.
