Men,
take heed. That time of year is right around the corner when a dozen
roses and a candlelit dinner can be the key to unlocking you beloved’s
heart. Valentine’s Day has a very special place in the world of
courtship and woe to those who mess it up!
The Alliance Theatre
is bringing a famous Cockney flower girl and a famous flower loving
bull to life this month in anticipation of spring. “My Fair Lady”
which opened on the Alliance Stage Feb. 4 and “Ferdinand the
Bull,” which started at the Alliance Children’s Theatre
Feb. 7 are both fun, lighthearted musicals that have become classics
the whole family can enjoy.
I forced myself
Sunday night to watch the three-and-a-half-hour Grammys broadcast
on CBS to see just what it is that the rest of the world is listening
to. I had a general idea about the kind of clueless mega-commercial
I was sitting down to endure. I knew I would be rolling my eyes and
making snide comments under my breath, but somewhere deep down I was
hoping I would actually enjoy the show. Then again, who am I kidding?
I hate the Grammys!

He has many notebooks filled with his writings. From that time on, his
