With all the wacky weather this week it was a gamble as to which night to go to the park for the Shakespear festival. We took the plunge last night for A Midsummer Night's Dream even though the skies had darkened, the wind was howling and thunder and lightining where everywhere. But we could see blue sky to the west as we headeed for the river valley. The play started at 8:00 just as this massive cloud burst happened right over the amphitheatre. Even though we were under the canopy the wind was blowing the rain right on us, but we perservered and before the intermission all had stopped and the sun was shining again. By the way, the play was excellent as usual. We always enjoy the Free Will Players no matter what play they do. Dianne was not in the mood for Henry V so I guess we won't be going to that. She's a hollywood ending kinda gal. Likes the the fluffy comedies and not the downer tragedies.
Things have been humming along nicely for me although I have fallen into a bit of a routine that involves getting up late, watching TV, reading and napping a lot. I don't know if this is healthy, maybe I should get outside more. I did promise myself that I would go for walks to get some excercise so I guess I will have to force myself to do that. Tomorrow...
