<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u2014 1 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Happy day after Valentine\u2019s Day and Susan B. Anthony\u2019s birthday! \u00a0There are many admirable kinds of love<\/a>, but the most powerful may be the kind my mother displayed for me yesterday, when she helped me pack up everything I owned and then drove us both back up to New York for my final leavetakings.<\/p>\n There were three boxes of books, and several labelled \u201cCostumes\/Props.\u201d \u00a0And about four to five \u00a0unsuccessful corset mockups ended up in the trash (does the set of front panels I tore out and replaced count as a half?). \u00a0So, here are some very quick takes indeed:<\/p>\n <\/a>\u2014 2 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the housemates I\u2019ll be sad to leave linked me to this image as a farewell gift:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n (LL+IJ 4EVA<\/a>)<\/p>\n <\/a>\u2014 3 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n And this Plantagenet card was also much appreciated:<\/p>\n <\/a>\u2014 4 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n And also in an slightly-off, slightly-late Valentine\u2019s Day vein: I heard that\u00a0Glee<\/em> used \u201cNot Getting Married Today\u201d in this week\u2019s episode, but did not do it justice. \u00a0So why not enjoy the version from the one we watched in the Sondheim Symposium<\/a>?<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
