Those of you who visit no doubt realize that I post new material only very rarely these days, and that the reviews, etc, that I write are logged on the Facebook and Twitter links to the right. After six+ years, two children, and a new Blogger interface that I loathe I've decided to suspend Between Productions for the foreseeable future, but as I ponder what path to take on the www do stop by to see what's up with me on Facebook and Twitter, or, better yet, just visit the sites themselves to friend and like and follow me or whatever. I plan to add theatre coverage to my <a href="http://popdose.com/">Popdose</a> duties, so save me the aisle seat, and thanks for dropping by.Robert Cashillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076036979390614870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22795193.post-87700611438375402662012-06-09T00:55:00.002-04:002012-06-09T00:56:56.721-04:00Popdose: Prometheus<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
