I'm cat sitting my old cat Rocco starting today for 10 days in Jersey. Will be fun. The snacks will flow like water.

Kindness will make you do things that’s bad for business but great for customers that will eventually make it great for your business again.

And...

That second principle though, coolness, is much harder to quantify...It’s about pushing back against visual trends and product trends and common patterns. But I think it’s about how a team is structured and avoiding the easy way out of problems.

I grew up in New Jersey, but I was today days old when I saw the town of Sea Girt in print. Only having heard it, I would have sworn it was spelled similar to singer Bob Seeger, with a “t” at the end.

Promotional poster for an improvisational comedy show. At the top, a large, orange, diagonal banner with the text 'IMPROV' in bold, white letters. Below the banner, a playful patterned background in teal with doodles of comedy and tragedy masks, pencils, and musical notes. A red URL 'www.catscradleimprov.com' is prominent. The text 'CAT'S CRADLE' sits at the center, surrounded by the words 'Directed by Richard J. Krysztoforski' in smaller print. Four performers are posed below: one sitting with his chin rested on his hand, another squatting with his hands on his thighs, the third standing to the right miming wearing a backpack, and the fourth standing behind, with a bald head, raising one hand in a goblin pose. In the bottom left, the words 'PLAYERS THEATRE 03.29.24 9:30PM' burst out in a starburst graphic.

The Cat's Cradle Ensemble's monthly residency continues at the Player's Theatre! Come on out if you're in NYC. March 29th, get your tickets.
