Ive seen lots of tributes to Tim Curry, but none featuring my introduction to him. Can't say that I liked the performance as a kid (because he was the bad guy), but now I can watch his in Annie all day

Tim Curry as Rooster, a con man, who is working with Miss Hannagan to exploit money in the musical Annie. he has a mustache and slicked back hair

Saw about 125 white fringed orchids today - most of them not yet flowering, but a few were. (Location in metadata intentionally wrong)

Yesterday the teenage woodchuck set up new digs in the retaining wall outside my home office window. A friend in landscaping thinks the situation is okay, so I am excited to follow Astrid’s adventures this fall! (I already spend too much time watching chippies, hence the feeder)
