And now to go mow the weeds...and wonder whether I should have invested in a wether, which would keep the grass shorn in this rainy weather.

Don't even get me started on mowing.  Our rechargeable electric mower started smoking a few weeks ago (I tried a nicotine patch, it didn't work), and I knew that some previous models had been recalled due to catching fire, so I took it into the shop.  Luckily it was still under warranty and Black & Decker, to their credit, opted to replace pretty much everything save the chassis, upgrading me to the newest 2008 model.  But in the meantime our close-to-an-acre backyard grass has grown to gargantuan proportions.  I have already done three mowing "sessions" and am probably only about 1/4 way done.  Oy.

Thanks for the feedback on the photos.  Maybe I should post some of the more "maybe-leaning-towards-No" ones just to see if "everyone" else thinks they are "maybe-leaning-towards-No" ones. Hmm....

And the weather here in NYC seems to turned around for this weekend - well, more like switched around.  Originally, it was supposed to be rainy today and sunny tomorrow, but sometime in the overnight hours, I guess the patterns changed, and it's currently bright, sunny and warm outside right now - with possible showers scheduled to move in tonight and tomorrow.  I suspect I will be taking a nice walk in the near future.

Bosco and I took our walk and were accosted by a runaway Pit Bull...thankfully he was not of the "rip your flesh apart" variety, although he would not let us be and he followed us home.

I put Bosco in the back yard grabbed a leash and eventually got the beast hooked up. There was a tag which gave his address so I walked him home (home was just a few streets west of my street.

On the way I met up with his owner who were driving around the area looking for "Bogart."

The end.

Wouldn't the fact that a tune is so closely identified with a current hit show (in this case Baba O'Riley with CSI-NY) mitigate against using it to promote a different show?

Re Nudie - yes, it's kept in its original time period (too different a world today) and takes place in 1975.

The one cast list (from Michael Shayne) is excellent and would have worked ten years ago, and maybe would work now on a beeeeg stage, but some of those people are a bit old for their roles now.  There is one name on the list, however, that is my first choice for both reading and show.  Which is it?

And we can either be casting the reading or the show.  And I've removed the nudity for Mary La Rue, knowing it would be difficult to get someone to do it.  Again, my first choice for that role is a bit too old for it, although I'd still consider it - Michele Pawk.
