“I am just gonna brave the cold in the costume.  I’ve decided
to just not wear any undergarments!”
– Jonathan Groff’s response when told how frigid it could be performing
during Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  He added, “Any extra
undergarments”.  So perhaps normal undies were employed.  Not to
worry – NYC was a balmy 40 degrees during the parade.

I was just in one of the nicest restrooms ever – at Providence’s TF Green Airport.  In fact, the entire airport is the best-kept secret in New England, an area not known for keeping secrets.  You can get there from Boston easily via the Commuter Rail, which brings you right to the terminal.  Don’t bother asking which terminal – there is but one.  Once past the most accommodating of TSA checkpoints, you’ll find glistening restrooms decked out in marble-ique walls and heavy wood paneled doors.  I’m not one to typically whip it out in a bathroom, but I was compelled to flash some pics…much to the dismay of the other patrons!

Someone who has likely enjoyed a men’s room or two is Kevin Spacey.  Whatever one thinks about his numerous exploits, one cannot deny his talent.  So I was ready to tell you that he just wrapped a sci-fi flick The Tenth Planet – The Red Sister.  Then came news of some new civil claims against the actor in the UK courts.  There are three charges.  Spacey has denied two of them.  The claimants of the ones he’s denied are anonymous.  One of them says that Spacey “deliberately assaulted him” on 12 occasions between 2000 and 2005.  While I don’t know the details, one might think that he’d have avoided being around Spacey after the third or fourth incident.  Perhaps it was a work situation, or maybe he’d suffered a head injury in the Falklands.  The second man claims after an assault in 2008, he has “psychiatric damage and financial loss”.   The third claimant has waived his right to anonymity.  He is Ruari Cannon, who previously told his story on the documentary Spacey Unmasked.  He claims Spacey groped him at a party after the press night of Sweet Bird of Youth at the Old Vic in 2013.  Spacey termed the incident “ridiculous and it never happened”.  And yet, he has not filed a response with the court.  I’m sure he has a bit of time since the trial date has been tentatively set for October 12, 2026.

South Carolina recently executed someone via firing squad.  For anyone out there keeping track, this was the third such execution in South Carolina in the past year!  Apparently firing squads are making a comeback!  From the photo I saw, I wouldn’t term the accused a “looker”.  I certainly wouldn’t have slept with him – forever squashing the notion that I have a “type”.  But he did request egg rolls and chocolate cake as his final meal.  I may be in love.
