I’ve ordered a few things from Richard over the years and everything about them is a delight, even down to the packing material. I hesitated posting about this Professionally Defaced book because they are very limited and I didn’t want one of you weasels getting one before I ordered my own copy.

I was looking for something to listen to and Bajour came up in a list of Broadway musicals. I vaguely remember @bcdreyer.social talking about it so I thought I’d give it a listen. Twenty seconds into the first song I realized he said it was a musical that will never get a revival. Boy, was he right.

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.
