onMaggie (Liz Taylor) is married to a man who has always been a jock–Paul Newman—who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk–in this play and now movie by Truman Capote–the man who is credited by many as greatly contributing to introducing the Gay community to Key West—we look at a family that has more than their share of issues—the patriarch is dying—though the doctor differs on that depending on whom he’s talking to. He is a wealthy man who is over powering and often hateful, but his wealth has kept his one son and his preggie wife (like their 3rd or 4th on the way?) stay close by in hopes of pushing the father’s favorite Newman and his childless wife Liz out of the line of inheritance…..and the reason the wife is childless (and greatly sexually frustrated and hopelessly in love with her errant husband—and as it is noted on some ads–Maggie is the cat) is that that to quote Newman she’s in love with someone that doesn’t love her—and without saying outright the reason for this is that Newman’s love is for another gender, especially an old friend that he had developed a relationship with –who has died by his own hand. He copes with this by drinking to excess. Put those people together, add Big Momma, who is brash and who also favors Newman’s character, and then for sheer aggravation the badly behaved and noisy children of the one sibling and you have a chaos that makes for a raw drama that hopefully doesn’t remind you too much of your own family’s get together.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.
Douglas Adams
3/11/52
Does anyone but me remember this man who wrote “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy * in 1979—it was actually a BBC radio series in 1978—but I didn’t hear about it till the book**.
He created the story of a mild-mannered Arthur Dent who travels through space with a friend Ford Prefect after the Earth is destroyed by a crew that is building an intergalactic highway. It is noted for wit and great character names *** and gives us the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything else: 42. ^
There were more books including: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe^^ and So Long and Thanks for all the Fish*, a hit TV show and stage shows Adams described his success as being unexpected like “having an orgasm without the foreplay.”
He was working out at a gym on 5/11/2001 when he had a heart attack and passed on at age 49 (near his home in Santa Barbara. He was creamated.

Anchor Inn
Park Street
Southwark
London
The current building, The SNchor, dates back to the 18th c and comes complete with minstrel’s gallery, old oak beams and cubby holes where escapees from the Clink could hide or where smugglers might stash their contraband, desperate to avoid the duties due at Custom House
The Anchor is the sole survivor of the riverside inns taht existed here in Shakespeare’s time and may have been visited by the playwright himself whose Globe Theatre was just three or four minutes walk away. Indeed, the Anchor was often full of actors, although by the 18th c it was a hangout for river-pirates and smugglers. When a huge oak beam was removed during the early 19th c the workmen fond a collection of intricately designed hiding places for contraband.

Oak Ridge Cemetery
North Lee Avenue and Livingston Street
Arcadia, Florida
DeSoto County
This site is located in the Southwest region of the state.
To reach the Oak Ridge Cemetery, travel north on Lee Avenue from SR 70 in Arcadia. The entrance to the cemetery is at the intersection of Lee Avenue and Livingston Street.
In the process of training Royal Air Force cadets to fly at the Riddle schools in Arcadia and Clewiston, twenty-three men were killed. Of that number, two died at Carlstrom Field in Arcadia and the remainder while at the Riddle Field site near Clewiston. These young men, with their instructor John Paul Riddle, are now buried in a specially designated area of the Oak Ridge Cemetery in Arcadia. Located in the southwest area of the cemetery, these graves are set off by a 30’ x 100’ raised curb and the presence of the British Union Jack on a pole nearby.
The Arcadia Rotary Club conducts annual commemorative services on Memorial Day to honor these brave men and their instructor
If you’re interested in the cadets and their taining and cause of death in training: Check out this book on the subject: https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1008&context=purduepress_ebooks

Sherlock Holmes and the Sussex connection
http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/sussex/hi/people_and_places/newsid_8414000/8414347.stm
Did you know that there is a Sherlock Holmes story that includes a Vampire?
“Dracula and Sherlock Holmes vie with each other as the most popular fictional speaking character in the English speaking world….”
“Sherlock Holmes had only one brush with a Vampire, the short story ‘The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire.’ which appeared in the January 1924 issue of the Strand Magazine, just six months before the dramatic version of Dracula Written by Hamilton Deane opened in rural England.”
