Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me

as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

Yorkshire P. Cumquat, Esq., vous êtes tres amusant!
ReplyDeleteThreeOldKeys, the theater at the school is a "no electronics allowed" zone. However, the play was captured professionally by a 3- or 4-camera crew, and I hope to see a copy one day.
Carol, Don't they, though? This is a very well-heeled school with a very high tuition - nothing but the best for them!
All Consuming, moi, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street? Puh-leez!!!
