Thot:

Isn't an overgrown plant, like for example a rose bush with pink plumage gone to seed amongt tall grasses, as natural as all get out?

Printemps?

Is that right in French?

Now the picnic table is set up on the back deck. I'll fill the flower pots around it, and for the lawn find insect-repelling plants to help out with the bug problems. It will be a season of outdoor breathing. Cut way down on the daylight indulgence of idly passing the time.

In a better position by next winter! I seem like a smart guy.

From a message-board discussion of why "theatre people" sometimes laugh exaggeratedly at shows:

"I always wonder what's wrong with audience members who DON'T laugh out loud - do they not get it? Are they used to watching sitcoms, where the laughter is provided by a track or a studio audience?"

"You've got it backwards. Comedy is mainly intellectual and technical. It can be appreciated cerebrally without vocalization. But because it is also depends on rhythm and satire, less analytic types can also appreciate it for its tempo and character portraiture in a more overt fashion."

A fan posted this set-list after Barbra Streisand's recent show in LA:

"Questions from audience members my favorite was Why is she touring ? Answer she said because she is a charity slut and then she quotes from my 2nd favorite of hers
"Hello, Dolly!" Money is like manure it's not worth a thing unless it is spread around encouraging young things to grow."

Tonight, by the glowing...

...If by "watch," you mean "listen... to."
