Beginning Thursday, and for the first time in its 43-year history, Chicago’s Second City e.t.c. Stage is changing over its storied revue, which launched the careers of the likes of Keegan-Michael Key and Jack McBrayer, to an all-improv show titled “Improv Supernova.”

Morning selection of flower paintings: quite a jaunty selection of garden flowers from 10 years ago with some pears in a bowl. A few nasturtiums and michaelmas daisies. Same vase as yesterday. Sold but I don't remember to whom.
