Death is easy; Comedy is hard

Attributed to, I think, Sir Laurence Olivier. But one of the reasons I love virtuosic comedy is because it displays enough of a mastery of your craft that you’ve gone beyond work into play, and having fun with it. Victor Borges, Madeleine Kahn, any clown in Cirque du Soleil, and here, an example of Dudley Moore, who you may have forgotten was a concert pianist before his days of acting.

Or, maybe, better to say "with" them…

    I thought I’d let you know that something bad has happened with your formatting. I’m using Firefox (what I’ve been using all along), and your website is completely broken in it. It looks fine in IE, though.

    Thanks, Shan. Yeah, I noticed that, and fixed it today – something to do with using the web-based editor instead of Qumana.

    How’s your site doing, btw?

    My site is in the midst of a lengthy resurrection. Theoretically, it should be back within hours. Theoretically….
