Very bothered to see “Austin” in the program for the Georgia production of “Pride and Prejudice,” but ticked to see Hill being played by a man. Duluth is only about an hour away, but not sure I will have the time to check it out. 😦

I mean “tickled” that Hill was being played by a man, not “ticked.” LOL! I must have still been thinking of “Austin” all over the playbill. 😦

I just noticed that a local community theater group here in the Kalamazoo (MI) area is performing Pride & Prejudice this weekend (Mar 17-19). However, their website (http://www.ignisarts.com/) doesn’t list the playwright.

I’m seeing Persuasion at BYU on Saturday, and I’m quite excited, especially now that I know they did not shy away from giving Wentworth a ginormous hat. Sometimes I wonder what the Navy was thinking. Those things are like giant sails–wouldn’t they get knocked off in a stiff breeze?
