Teri Garr in the Sound of Music?

This weekend I learned the role of Liesl in the Sound of Music was played by 21 year old Carmian Carr. She sang the song "I am 16, Going on 17. Others considered for the role included Teri Garr (above), Mia Farrow, Sharon Tate, and Leslie Ann Warren. 

Friday night we ate dinner outside at our friend's house. Four couples. Mexican. Then we sat around the firepit. Reid tried to start a fire but it wouldn't stay lit. Then Sarah kept adding kindling to keep it going, but the big logs never caught fire since they were wet. I was exhausted just watching Sarah work. I think she became overcome by smoke, because she was the first to leave.

Slept late Saturday. Worked upstairs, then downstairs laundry. Cut the grass and worked in the yard. Got in my 10000+ steps. Spaghetti and spinach.

On line Sunday School. More housework, laundry, and nap. Leftover spaghetti with spinach and broccoli. Lately I've been placing the broccoli on top of the spaghetti noodles, then topping both with the meat sauce.

Last year, due to covid, my company moved the New Year's Eve holiday to Good Friday. This year the Carolina's division just announced they'd be doing the same thing this year. I guess my region won't be joining them.

Denison on the USA Today's condemnation of Oral Robert's inclusion in the NCAA tourney: "Here's the irony: as Christianity Today reports, ORU's "involvement in basketball is part of a much longer story of Christian engagement with the game." James Naismith invented basketball at a Christian college: the YMCA International Training School. He described the task of a YMCA physical director: "to win men for the Master through the gym." ORU is just one of six Christian schools which advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in this year's tournament.

ME: if people are so concerned with Oral Roberts' biblical stand on marriage, perhaps everyone opposed should quit playing basketball in protest.
