Mark Braam discovered this hiding in his home. I started this improv group, Is It In? with Leslee Warren, Scott Clevenger, Ruth Rosenbaum, Jerry Kernion and others. This was our debut, I believe. And we did comedy improv for 3 hours… for 50 cents a head and we packed this Irish pub. Before the last set, Mark even gave us a big introduction with that huge beautiful voice of his (which was one reason I cast him as Peter in JC Superstar). Our troupe name came from a dirty joke (did you think otherwise?) told by Ruth or Scott during a rehearsal break. I tried resurrecting the group in Boston, but different people made for different chemistry. We had a couple gigs (improv in theater in the round is tricky), but those college crowds and especially those first partners- great memories.

Time to reopen the basement laboratory and hire an Igor.

Look closely. That top fountain is out of control. By the entrance to Mt. Hope Cemetery yesterday. Go ahead and giggle. I did.


We don’t have Coco or Waymo at home, so yes I stood in the rain and yelled “No, Coco, not the mud!”
Annals of sorting papers- this is a keeper

– A card from my brother, Barry Veverka-Brownlie‘s family when Suzanne and I engaged. We lost Barry at the start of the summer. These reminders of him and Suzanne and their personalities.
