So, I'm in this bar last night on 49th and 8th, and a big ol' drunk is bellowing about the "Curse of Annie." He said "Dorothy Loudon's dead. Reid Shelton's dead. Laurie Beechman's dead. Andrea McArdle hardly works. No one's ever heard from any of the orphans again or Barbara Erwin or Martin Charnin."
I'm thinking "freak" and push him out of the way to get to the bar.
Then, this morning someone tells me they saw Sarah Jessica Parker at the Democratic Convention and asks me if I've heard of the "Curse of Annie."
Ok, what's up? Am I the only person in midtown who has never heard of this malarky?
Stop worrying about what I'm doing -- focus instead on what you're eating.

Andrea McArdle gets on my nerves.
But I loved Dorothy Loudon, one of the greats.
But as to the 'Curse', it is rather ridiculous. Probably most of the cast of SHOWBOAT is dead and has been for a LONG time, does that mean there is a curse. No, it just means that they died 'cause, you know what, people die.

Priest, you can always count on you for a profound thought like "cause you know what, people die." 
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
