Other Crap

Playwright Edward Albee and actors Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin are involved in a new staging of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" I have good memories of Edward Albee. When I was still in high school I published an article about "Virginia Woolf" in The Rochester Times-Union. It kinda sucked, I suppose. After all, what does a 16 or 17 year old know about modern drama? But my mom was impressed with it, as moms will be, and sent it to Albee without my knowledge. The cool part of the story is that he was kind enough to respond to me with a hand-written letter! I still have it, envelope and all, and that was 39 years ago. (It has a five cent stamp!) So I guess ol' Ed is a pretty cool guy.
