A rather rare treat for this production are three nights off. No rehearsals, no readings, nothing. A day off today, tomorrow and the next day. I’m using this time to get some rest and get a few things done. Tonight was the night for rest. An old Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movie, a light […]

Something weird is going on with the ads I see on many sites. I’ve been getting bombarded with ads for ‘bidets’. Now I would understand this if I had been making comments about toiletpaper, toilet humor, bathrooms, plungers or the like. Or even if I was doing a search to replace various plumbing fixtures. The
Days -2, -1, and 0 were getting ready days of course. Day one however is where it begins. Past years have had a check-in time of 10:00AM. Not so this year. With a brand new 8:00AM check-in time I dragged myself out of bed early and got a ride over to the bank lot across

Since Sunday my sleep patterns have been severely off kilter. While even in the best of times, my sleep habits are not the best (only around 5 hours per night), this is weird even for me. I don’t care what time the post says (I haven’t bothered adjusting it to local time), it is now
Strange thing. I remember reading the Bradbury novel, and seeing the movie. But, I am now watching the movie and I can’t seem to remember it at all. Oh, I remember the basic story, but I don’t seem to remember any of the details. I remember the carnival coming to town, and of course Mr.

Feb 2, Groundhog Day. Any excuse to look for spring. Here we are, just a few days past mid-winter in Ohio, and everyone is looking forward to spring. We’ve had plenty of snow, ice and cold temperatures, and we will have quite a few more before winter is through. It seems like winter just goes
Regular readers of my blog know that I thought The Night Listener was a terrible movie. It stars Robin Williams as a radio show host who… you know what, I don’t even remember. For a plot synopsis, click on the link above. I was actually surprised that an A-list actor like Robin Williams would do

So you don’t know what to ask your wealthy friends and family members for for Christmas. Well, how about Indiana Jones’s whip or fedora from Temple of Doom? Or how about that light saber used by Mark Hamill in the original Star Wars movie? Now you know why I said wealthy friends and family, because
