QUESTION OF THE DAY.

"Please understand that I am not asking this to be a wise-ass, but as a genuine and serious question:

If Donald Trump was experiencing DXM-induced mania, how would we know?"

UPDATE ON BLOGGING.... I've made the difficult decision to go dark on my two blog sites (Theater Colorado and Pensees).  Theater Colorado will remain active for now, but there will be no new content after 12/31/2020.  This is due to several factors, not the least of which is that there is very little live theater to cover at this time.  The foreseeable future is very cloudy for live theater.  I'd like to think it will go back to "normal" sometime soon, but the reality is that a significant number of small theaters may not survive the Covid 19 pandemic.  "Normal" is not coming back.  There will be a New and Different Normal."

I support protests.   I do NOT support riots and all the associated damages...

I haven't been a Catholic since 1970.  Long story, and I don't want to offend friends and family by challenging their beliefs.  Live and let live.   I rarely post 3 times in one day.  Today I'm making an exception. I was stunned when I saw this post on Flipboard.  Speechless.   So I won't have anything to say here, other than read this one yourself.
