A few weekends ago our neighborhood park hosted a film and tribute to one of our famous neighbors. Stanley Donen grew up a block from the park and went on to direct several memorable movies with Gene Kelly, Cary Grant, and Audrey Hepburn. Singin' in the Rain was shown on an inflatable screen. About 200 people from all over town gathered on the lawn to watch. I thought my kids wouldn't get into the dated film, but they loved it. They particularly enjoyed Donald O'Connor's "Make 'em Laugh."
I work across the street from St. Peter's Cathedral in Columbia and took my lunch to the courtyard there to sketch.
