Paper to Pixels

Last week I finally pulled the plug on the home delivery of the print edition of The Plain Dealer. After a half-century of having print editions of the Cleveland daily at the breakfast table – either as a kid across the table from my father or at my own table across from my granddaughter – circumstances have forced us at Casa Hill to allocate expenses differently. The online edition is the same as the print, and is a little more accessible (on my mobile phone and tablet) but it just doesn’t feel the same. I fear the Sunday New York Times will be next, but I already work (or try to work) the daily crosswords on my phone. Just changing times, I guess.

Farewell, Alex

When Act 3 producer Alex Vicarel called a meeting for the following morning, we were mentally prepared. Her announcement? She would leave Act 3 to join her boyfriend (also Alex!) in Seattle as they begin a new life chapter. A position at Microsoft for one talented Alex, a host of new geographic and career opportunities for Act 3 Alum Alex. Since Covid restrictions caused “our” Alex to miss out on her 2020 college graduation from John Carroll University, we figured a joint graduation ceremony was called for. Presti’s in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood provided the stage, Act 3’s creative director Ron Hill provided the illustrated bon voyage card and the graduation mortar board.
To follow is a sweet note from a talented, sweet lady who taught us much with her poise, grace, and wry humor.
