Musical Interlude: My 59th birthday was Saturday. I fell in love with this song during the COVID lockdown and it's never been completely out of mind ever since. I dedicate this to myself for making another year.
"I'm Still Here," performed by Yvonne De Carlo.
Sunday in The Park with The Borgias - This musical, in the tradition of Sondheim, a Romantic Comedy set in the Renaissance & Paris in the late 1800s, has an ironic edge that speaks to our times.

Stephen Sondheim was one of the most successful composers and writers of his time. He died in 2021 with an Academy Award and numerous Tonys and Emmys to his name. Writing for Air Mail, Sondheim’s biographer, Meryle Secrest, looks back at the signs she missed when interviewing him. “The problem,” Secrest writes, “is that one only tends to realize how badly one has misjudged a person when it’s already too late.” https://flip.it/SqwVU2

Happy Anniversary to THE LAST OF SHEILA, which premiered in theaters on this day in 1973.
With a screenplay by Antony Perkins and writing legend Stephen Sondheim Murder Mysterys rarely get any better than this.
Rian Johnson knew this and called Sheila the greatest inspiration for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
