(Singing): "And don't be afraid of the storm..." Humor at the Gallows: Been done! Slapstick: perfect for us visual types but like the guy says: "You have a great face for Radio." I love walking in the rain and shooting the peeling paint! Wish I was kidding- about the peeling paint. I'm going to rent a Marklift (as its called around here) to get those hard to reach paint pealing shots. Old soft drink signs peeling under dry cleaning lead paint. I love it. The fact that might be someone's idea of a cliche makes me slightly whimsical. "At the end of the road is a golden…?" A friend of mine who is a Photoshop and Illustrator expert came by recently with his wife and we viewed "The Pajama Game" (restored from three color I think). My parents played the album over and over when we were kids and I still remembered much of the lyrics. I had never seen it. It was dazzlingly great. If the rain doesn't let up, check it out! Doris Day I never thought I'd like. Trust me! I never lie. Mark Rabiner
