A LITTLE THIS-A AND A LITTLE THAT-A – WITH THE EMPHASIS ON THE LATTA

+ Fellow Jersey City native Nathan Lane is a hard man to replace. The June 10th posting at BROADWAY BLOG reports that “November To Close On Broadway July 13”. Lane had previously announced that July 13th would be his final performance. Now the David Mamet comedy (see my post “It Gets Lonely In The White House”) has announced that it will close on July 13th.

+ Like BLUEPRINT FOR FINANCIAL PROSPERITY, the Silicon Valley Blogger’s THE DIGERATI LIFE is a goldmine of helpful advice and information. A recent post tells you how to “Help Your Kids Get Rich: Invest Early”.

+ THE FIVE CENT NICKEL, another consistently interesting personal finance blog, provides some information on "What Goes Into the Price of Gas?"
.

+ FYI, as promised I watched the original John Waters film CRY BABY with Johnny Depp on Comcast ON DEMAND (in the “Free Movies” section). While the Broadway musical adaptation kept some of the characters, images and plot lines from the film, it thankfully reworked, and improved, the story for more “accessibility”. The movie showed us the parents of the delinquents, among them David Nelson, Troy Donahue and Joey Heatherton - so you can see why they turned out so FU-ed - but these characters were cut for the musical.

This afternoon I will be in NYC again for a matinee performance of GYPSY. Look for my review sometime tomorrow.

Hi Robert!

Thanks for the mention! Did you change your blog theme? It looks different here from what I remember it to be like!
