Look out for a superb "Comedy of Errors" and a truly remarkable version of "Henry VI" which gets into its stride in parts 2 and 3 (How else would one see this but on DVDs in one's own home?)

I look forward to picking up allusions to your viewing via your blog.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-37720253468256977612009-03-06T19:10:00.000+00:002009-03-06T19:10:00.000+00:00Does trading 12 bottles of beer for a used digital...Does trading 12 bottles of beer for a used digital camera count in the frugality dept?Rouchswalwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393987883437907945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-18021608627852748032009-03-06T18:46:00.000+00:002009-03-06T18:46:00.000+00:00Isn't there a song about a pale moon..."It's not t...Isn't there a song about a pale moon...<BR/><BR/>"It's not the pale moon that excites me, that...something, something, something...and delights me..."<BR/><BR/>My mother used to sing it; wish I had listened more closely.<BR/><BR/>Your photo today is a good abstraction of the puddle and its surrounding universe.
