What must have been in the stars on this day? Tyler Clementi would have turned 26, living the kind of life he should be living right now. So, it is up to us who are alive, to live, for him, the kind of lives we would have wanted for him--filled with happiness and acceptance.
It is also Jake Gyllenhaal's birthday. At 37, he is a fine young man!
Most important, sixty years ago tonight, at The Majestic Theatre, Robert Preston and Barbara Cook opened in "The Music Man!" That's right! With Pert Kelton as Marianne's mother, and Marilyn Siegel (who became Marilyn Rogers when originated Brigitta Von Trapp in "The Sound Of Music" in 1959) as the original Amaryllis. Oh, and David Burns!
What was going on, on this day? A cornucopia of anniversaries!!!!!!!!!!!
Celebrate them all, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Clementis are really making a difference, with their foundation.

Also, I now have Shipoopi in my head lol
