I am listening to an interview Sondheim had with Rick Pender, a Cincinnati media person, in 2006. They are talking a lot about Company because the interview coincided with a production of that show in Cincinnati. It's interesting, but I suppose it doesn't reveal anything revolutionary. He does discuss Bounce (as it's called at the time of the interview, and he said at Chicago, it was about 80% there, and at Washington, it was about 85% there. As of the recording of the interview, he thought it was 90% there. ("Inching up.")

In 2006, when asked what the future holds for him, he said "I'm fishing around for new things."

I am also burning an archive DVD for the fourth time, because the files keep changing. God forbid I should archive a file with a missing comma. (I'm just grumbling there because the reason we had to change the files so many times was to add Oxford commas all over the place. I listened to the Vampire Weekend song "Oxford Comma" this afternoon, and it helped with my mood.
