lost, I could not find it with a dog."
On New Year's Eve 2007, we had the pleasure of seeing one of Twain's lost plays called Is He Dead? The play focuses on the French painter Jean-Francois Millet and how he staged his own death to sell his work. Millet cross-dresses as his widow in order to keep his secret. Norbert Leo Butz was superb as Millet. Sadly, it only lasted three months on Broadway.
The puzzle theme for today is called "Jewelry Box" (by Billie Truitt). Here are the theme answers:
20A: Loose-leaf notebook (RING BINDER). Yes, boys and girls, it's almost that time of the year. School supplies (including ring binders) await at your local store. Every time this Staples commercial is aired, we laugh and laugh:
37A: Small role for a big star (CAMEO APPEARANCE)
52A: One of a retail group (CHAIN STORE). Sadly, another venerable chain, Borders, is shutting its remaining 400 stores. Another 10,000 jobs gone. What a shame. . . . I always liked them better than Barnes & Noble. They have a great selection of CDs and nicer stationery than at B&N. They serve better food too. I think Borders got into the e-reader business too late and its product was inferior to Kindle, Nook, and the iPad. Hopefully they will continue their Internet business. Going-out-of-business sales begin this Friday. RIP.

It's so f------ hot outside, but I won't miss Zumba and Core on the Ball tonight.
I bought a Jones New York shirt dress to replace my Rogan dress that I bought at Target 3 summers ago. It's all part of the plan to start dressing more my age but not look frumpy.
Stay cool!
Singing off,
