Movie *** Between Two Ferns (2019)
Ridiculous comedy, in a Will Ferrel vein, with lots of celebrities but not much humor.
Movie *** Tall Girl (2019)
Slow romance between the awkward tall girl and her short admirer.

Great Blue Heron flies past sunken Summer reservoir.
Stage play ***+ Tesla city Stories (2019)
Fun recreation of early radio broadcasts including sound effects and audience participation.
Book – ****+ Mark of the Plague (2017)

Movie **** Blinded by the Light (2019)
