It concerns a sensational sex scandal with religious overtones that occured in the 1970s. To find out more, Google “manacled Mormon” or watch this trailer.

I love the Film Theatre at the RPL, with its convenient location. You can go through the front doors at Central Branch and right down the stairs to catch a movie, cheap, without having to walk past the Dunlop Art Gallery with all that nudity.

In honour of his birthday, the last word this morning goes to Stephen Hawking:
“I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”
You’ve been a great audience. Thank you, and have a great day.
Heard offstage: “MacRae is a tough act to follow. Next time, I want to go first. Right after Yates.”
