		<description><![CDATA[The man, not the toothpaste.
This story on my Yahoo page reminded me of a funny story.
Years ago, I was the box office manager at The Village Gate. The 25th anniversary production of &#8220;Jacques Brel&#8230;&#8221; was playing in the downstairs theatre. &#8220;Brel&#8221; was directed by Elly Stone, an original cast member and produced by Eric Blau, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One would think, leaving NYC after 21 years and moving back to the area where I grew up, Reading, PA, that I would indeed feel a sense of failure. Oddly, I don&#8217;t. Instead, I feel something that feels more like completion.
