Believe me, I’ve tried everything to try to have long fingernails that don’t peel – from commercial products like Nailtique and a the Colombian product Quimica Alemana, to organic polishes. In my desperation, I’ve even cooked up home made remedies like infusing oil with garlic. As you can imagine, the culprit isn’t doing the dishes or chlorinated swimming pools. It’s – well, genes or whatever. So an email about new nail products was met with skepticism, but at the same time, hope springs eternal. And in this case, my hopefulness was borne out with success.

All too often plays or films billed as "comedy" are black comedy -- grim, sad and sometimes ironic. And almost always, I don't find them funny. So it was with great delight I enjoyed a real comedy as in you laugh, at GableStage, with its current production "An Act of God". By David Javerbaum, head writer of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” , it's great fun, light and witty, thoroughly enjoyable all the way.
