... that Herman Wouk's play The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, based on his seminal book The Caine Munity, was first staged. It bowed on Broadway some three months later for a somewhat modest run, but its 1983 Broadway revival is notable for being the only Broadway production featuring one of New York City's favourite sons, Jets quarterback and hall-of-famer Joe Namath. No word on whether or not he was wearing one of his netted slingshot briefs on-stage. On that disturbing note, let's play the friday5.org Friday Five!
1. What was the last thing you baked?
A vegetarian pepperoni pizza, about an hour ago. Half was my lunch, the other half will be next Friday's lunch. Not counting pizzas, last Friday I baked up a batch of my world-famous brownies for Lara.
2. What was the last thing you tried on for size?
Probably the last coat I bought a couple of years ago. I'm reminded now that I should probably pick up a new coat soon. (I've lost a fair bit of weight since I last had to wear coats, and I'd like to treat myself to a smaller one.)
3. What was the last thing you purchased on credit?
I don't have any credit cards nor do I want any. The best answer I can put here is the last semester I took at UT, since I had to take out more student loans for it.
4. What was the last thing you put a postage stamp on?
A rebate offer for the flat panel monitor I bought for my father's next computer, and I think I mailed out a CV to try to get another local teaching job at the same time.
5. What was the last thing you took a photo of?
Probably a AAA (perfect score) of a DDR song for my diet log. Not counting pictures of my dancey game accomplishments, I honestly can't remember. (I'd meant to take a photo of Lara when I saw her in Cleveland last weekend, but I forgot.)
