Post Dearth
I haven't posted in, what, three months? But not for lack of material. There's theatre news, and book news, and more theatre news, and family news, and so forth. But I've been joyfully in the weeds of the Roman book, which we're calling COLOSSUS for...
The Farcroft
For years I've wanted to write about where I live - the building, I mean. It would have been unwise while I was still there, but as we've recently moved, I am now free to discuss the Farcroft Building, where Jan and I have lived for the last...
