Drew! Help me out here. How do I answer this guy? [link]

Granted it's not a clear representation of the designs, but USA designers, not my designs, yadda yadda. Plus, it just makes me laugh that he wants to use an image from focus at the Goodman for his community theatre fliers.

I've always wanted to see/direct/stage a version of Evita that had a female Che as an interesting counterpoint for how women could come from the same type of background and then diverge into two different paths.

OMG, Kathy, I've often had the same thought! (Never mind that part of it is due to the fact that I love Che's songs.) But yeah, I think it would be fascinating to see a female Che.

For male vocals I've been using Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.

I love that cover. Love a lot of tracks on that album actually.

1 and 6! Oh well, one of my guys hit his first homerun ever, and another hit his first this season. So that was fun.

In Little League hitting your first home run has a curious rite-of-passage feeling. It's somewhere between a Bar Mitzvah (now you are a man!) and losing your virginity (ditto).

The other weirdly threshold-crossing moment in youth baseball is when pitchers develop a consistent breaking pitch, like a curveball. Every pitcher I've seen who gets his first strikeout on a breaking pitch comes running off the mound grinning from ear to ear.

I remember reading a YA short story about a girl cellist learning to find her vibrato on the instrument. That had a similar element of emphasizing a subtle moment of mastery as a step into maturity. I wonder if every instrument has some kind of transitional moment.

Or as Oz put it: "That's a man's chord. You could lose a finger."

Sarameg, you and your Lisa literally rocked the house. The last thing we had to do here before we moved in was paint the kitchen ceiling. It was at the end of a long day and we were both exhausted. We used the glossy trim paint, and did not find out until we were done. We had to redo the whole thing and I swear, the DH almost cried.

For Jesse, when she's in her City Planner geek mode: Surreal Suburbs: The Westlake District is an interesting example of post-WWII philosophies, and cool little houses.

Cool, thanks. I was just replaying my post-college decision-making process, while watching Parks and Rec. "Why didn't I go to planning school? Oh, right -- because most of the actual jobs out there are like this."
