Tornadoes
Don't know if anyone will be looking to these accounts for news of me, but since the tornadoes in Sioux Falls made the national news, thought I should reach out and say that I'm fine, and my property seems to be fine.
I was really lucky, though, not to have sustained more damage. The house behind and kitty-corner from me had a tree in its backyard ( Read more... ) -
A "Mash" Made in Heaven
I was doing some YouTube research today and made the fascinating discovery that it is apparently en vogue to for fans to edit Disney animation to match up with Hamilton songs (I suppose it wouldn't HAVE to be Disney animation, but so far all the examples I've seen are). And even though I'm kind of down on Disney at the moment (understatement), I ( Read more... ) -

If you've ever wanted to ask Yoda a question, here's your chance.

'Hamilton' on the West End
I'm kind of surprised that Hamilton has been so warmly embraced on the other side of the Atlantic, but I'm nevertheless delighted to see it.

Lawrence: President Donald Trump Gives Republicans Presidential Dreams |...
First of all, I guess we got our answer on Marco Rubio; as of this morning, he was still a "no," but sometime between then and newstime, he flip-flopped like a soggy pancake ( Read more... ) -
Look around...
So today I turned over the last page of my Hamilton wall calendar. Each month has a picture of a cast member (in character) and a quote from one of their songs. The page for December has a picture of Phillipa Soo as Alexander Hamilton's wife, Eliza, and her quote is "Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now ( Read more... )
