Terry and Me

There’s a great blog on this, the WWW, that occasionally has comments on topics that leave me scratching my red-head. It’s the sort of blog that keeps me connected to the big world outside of this sleepy little burg I live in, to the world of literature, theater, and other good stuff that I have limited access to otherwise. I love reading his opinions and comments on so many different topics. A perusal of “About Last Night” can lead to a marathon session of pleasurable and informative browsing as well as the discovery of little gems of literary references. My dear friend is an avid fan of this blog as you will discover by checking out her comments here. (Incidentally, there’s a whole lot more wonderful “stuff” on her blog that will amuse and entertain you.)

What an apropos name for one who “teaches” about such varied venues, Terry Teachout. I love his reviews of many of the stage presentations extant in our land. Although I love the theater, I rarely have the opportunity to get to a Broadway show, so it gives me some satisfaction to know which shows I am better off missing. Somehow though, I seem to have missed one about a show I will be seeing in January, “Jersey Boys”. I’m sure Terry has mentioned it somewhere, sometime, but I’m also sure I will enjoy it. How could I not, it’s my time and my music for Pete’s sake!! and these "boys" were even from New Joisey! (…and thank goodness the strike is over!)

In a recent post he noted something else that piqued my interest and I was not disappointed. Imagine that!
Terry and I both seem to be intrigued by dinosaurs, or could it have been the literary reference to John Updike he was focused on? Whichever it might be, check out the “dino” link (fascinating), and by all means, check out his blog. It will enlighten and entertain as well as teach.
