I got my MFA in Theater Ed from VCU, then went on to teach theater for 25 years. Burned myself out, so went back to a more "regular" teaching schedule in English. Just could not handle the late nights and weekends lost. Tom

I like the WSJ Friday puzzle, challenging but not impossible. You went to Yale? I've got my MFA in Theater.

Wow, the NYT in ink, and on Sunday...my hat is off to you:)

Four years on GB nice work. Your birthday is 3 days before mine, that makes you older.. ....LOL......We have to be buddies

Thanks for the positive comment. I just had to make sure that people saw that quote from the article.

Hi, congratulations on having the perseverance to post for 600 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Your buddy, Warren :-)

LOL! Thanks for being my newest Buddy. That's the way to fly a kite. I used to be good at math but my two sons and 4 grandkids are much faster. Even my 5-year-old Emily.

Dang, I thought this was one of those 2,500 day leap years!

Care to be buddies. I have 2,241 consecutive days. If you do the math that's more than a year.

Didn't understand your message at first. Now I do. Yeah. I imagine the loner wasn't alone initially. Since I began trying to stay consecutive, I have made it a routine in the morning to read one article. So it is sad that a consecutive number "retires" when a singleton misses his posting.
