Watched The Princess Bride tonight with the family. I gave Jeanne the 20th Anniversary DVD for Christmas. It’s amazing how much fun that movie is, and how much I still love it after 20 years. There’s a wonderful couple of featurettes on it, including interviews with a lot of the stars, that talk about the making of the film and it’s inconceivably long lasting appeal. 😉

Um…an 11 year old boy who everyone thought was deaf in one ear…got better….Because the thing that no one had found jammed in his ear FOR 9 YEARS fell out! What?!

We got our first review for Art! Most reviewers wait until Opening Night, but Jim Fordyce, a reviewer in Lansing, likes to sneak in on first preview. In his short review he praises the show and, although he had a couple of issues with the script, also said: The play features a trio of the finest actors Michigan has to offer, John Lepard, Paul Hopper and Bruce Bennett. Under the excellent direction of Tony Caselli, these three actors do a fine job in the simple set that serves as three apartments. The set is another fine example of how this theater’s creative people wisely use the limited space they have available in their intimate theater. So, that’s nice! Hopefully folks will read it and buy tickets! 🙂

My cousin Lori has had her book published! It’s called Sex Before Suicide, and it’s available at Amazon or you can check it out at her own website! It’s a memoir about…well, read this description from her website: As the dawn of my personal half-century mark draws nearer, I find myself looking ahead to second half of this life. However, before you can go forward, you have to look back. I have zig-zagged through these past 50 years; and now seems like the perfect time to find closure and look back at the boys/men who have shaped who I have become today. The “diary” of my adventures has been published; “Sex Before Suicide”, is available here & on Amazon.com. You, or someone you know, may be a part of my collection of short stories! Sounds funny, honest and sweet – can’t wait to read it!

A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and propulsion and could hit the Earth in late February or March, government officials said Saturday. Neat!! Hope it finds someplace uninhabited!
