Just got home. Right after I posted that the electricity went off for good. I opened my office door and yelled, "God called. He said to go home NOW." An office secretary actually pipped up and said, "Well, I can still do some filing." Will the young never learn??????
Traffic lights out all over the county. Glad tarffic is light due to the holiday weekend.
DG - We have had intense thunderstorms most evenings this week, but we weren't affected by Ernesto too much at all. It kind of skipped from Florida - out to sea - and then to the Carolinas. Our weekend is supposed to be beautiful starting tomorrow - mid 80s for highs and 60s for lows. I'll be headed up to my Alma Mater for the first football game of the season tomorrow.
Jungle - sounds fun. For some reason, I have a quote from Miss Jean Brodie running through my head - "For people who like that sort of thing, that's the sort of thing they like."
Moony - sounds like hunker-down weather to me! I see videos and wine in your future.
DD - You'll need your speedos for the daytime on Sunday and your sweater at night!
DG - I am intrigued by what Cynthia Nixon will do with her interpretation of the Miss Jean Brodie character onstage this season. Will Dame Maggie approve??
I haven't seen Ms. Nixon live, but from what I've heard, she's got the chops. I'd certainly be willing to see her give it a go. I just hate, hate, HATE the end of that play/movie, though. I can't stand that that little bit*h seems to win!
I saw the first public reading of RABBIT HOLE. On the one hand, I thought it a little too much 'movie-of-the-week' in structure and content. BUT, I do remember thinking and feeling that each character was absolutely real and believable on the page - and from what I heard, Ms. Nixon and Ms. Daly absolutely captured that element completely. I'll look forward to the responses to Brodie.
Attend the tale of Bovine Boy
His party threads we all enjoy
But does he have Mad Cow Disease?
He doesn't eat beef - but cows skating? - oh please!!!
With cocoa!?!
