There are no small audiences, only small performers.

I did have zero show up for a one-act I did once. So we didn’t do the show.

Today I interviewed an author from Brooklyn who does cemetery tours. Very knowledgeable lady, good info about cemetery history, good conversation. Will fashion a story out of it. Maybe just a Q&A.

I did like the movie “Midway” as broadcast on ABC-TV when I was a kid.

I bet Ron Pulliam has been to some of those territories in his naval days.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I was watching an Outside the Box on kritzerland youtube, and I think it was one with Hal Linden, in the intro phone bit, he says, “I don’t know what to say.”

To which BK replies, “Say yes, like in the delightful Kander and Ebb musical 70 Girls 70.”

Therefore it was always BK’s destiny to direct that show.

Let's see...I was born in Alabama, and we lived in Alabama, Georgia, California, Texas, and Germany by the time I was four.

After we left Germany when I was seven, we stayed in New Jersery for three days before we drove to Colorado, and we lived there until I was ten years old.

Other than where I lived and which states we drove through, I've been to Utah and Nevada and New York.

And I think that those are all the states that I've actually been to as actual destinations.

My sister just vacationed in Hawaii, and my niece has been to Florida with her aunt, but I haven't been to either of those states.

I ran across Fred Ebb in the most surprising of ways this morning while researching the Looking For Mr. Goodbar murder case.

The fellow who was friends with the murderer, who the murderer in fact confessed to, was a guy who knew Ebb and, not sure whether to believe his friend or not, called his other (non-murderous) pal, Fred Ebb, for advice. He flies out to LA to tell Ebb what’s happened. They end up getting in touch with the guy’s therapist who convinced the guy to come back to NY and talk to police, which he eventually did. Crazy stuff.
