@JoseCanseco hope it's been good, Mr. Canseco. One of my few highlights as a sports reporter was huddling around your locker after you'd struck out in the top of the 9th of a key series and all the vet sportswriters were terrified of asking the first question. So I did. And you didn't bite!

It came a lonnnng time after Part I was published and is not nearly the story (basically a chronological look at the past 40 years and new plays) but it's done and in the books.

Not sure if he came up all these rules, but they all seem sound. Should have been an eighth rule: break all rules when the situation calls for it.

A story about a theater that has been in a house for 57 years. I imagine it has been at least that many yrars since someone lived in the house.

Obviously the small army that I paid dearly for to flood social media with every sentence I write has deserted. Which is why part 2 of this piece is being posted six weeks after it published.

First in a two-part series about a completely legit theater (the play-producing kind) in an unlikely place: The flatlands of Anaheim Hills.

words about a play and the 160-year-old war that still haunts America

Scratch the extra credit; those unfamiliar with the song, or at least the title, are failing Shit That Matters 101, and my co-opting it without proper credit is uncool. So here it is:

Worth its weight in gold, or at least copper, for the headline alone:

Extra credit if you grok the song it's pulled from . Or grok grok.
