The past ten days have been sufficiently busy to keep me away from my keyboard between court hearings for my job, out of state travels with my children, and arriving home to be blindsided by one of the two types of flu slamming our area overnight Monday into Tuesday morning. I'm still achy and stiff, though not as feverish as I was earlier in the week. (I've joked in other venues that my husband & daughter, who were home all weekend, were generous enough to share--hubby confirmed the diagnosis with his doctor on Monday.)
I'm compelled to offer condolences to Liam Neeson, Vanessa Redgrave, & their extended family in the loss of Natasha Richardson. Very sad way to end what I'm sure was a welcome break in the Laurentian hills.
In other show biz news (which I don't ordinarily follow, but this bit from today's NY Times caught my eye), Steve Martin is now paying for an off-campus high school production of "Picasso at the Lapin Agile"(written by him) after a petition from local adults protesting the "adult content" of the play being put on by students at La Grande (OR) High School. Hope the situation is resolved to the satisfaction of all involved. The subject matter of the play, for those unfamiliar with it, is an imagined meeting between Picasso and Albert Einstein in a Paris watering hole.
Guess it's time to mine my own imagination for such greatness--Steve Martin had (I suspect) a great, novel idea there!
