I just can’t remember if I saw the film Xanadu in 1980.  I have to assume that I did because I clearly remember seeing the Village People in You Can’t Stop the Music, so why wouldn’t I see Xanadu?  In 2008 I saw (and loved) the Uptown Players production of Zanna, Don’t! which I assumed [...]

. . . on Thursday night. It wasn’t planned, I didn’t go in search of enlightenment, but as Thursday turned to Friday and I began to look back over the previous two and a half days and the months leading up to them I found myself making mental notes, things that I had been reminded [...]

No Offense . . . We all watched the Miss USA Pageant on Sunday night. Admit it, you did. Who can’t resist a beaded gown? Just as ugly people have value, Miss California proved to everyone that pretty people can be selfish, closed-minded, offensive and arrogant. Miss California, who had a fabulous gown, was asked [...]
