High tension moment,
the pain palpable — in the
end, laughter triumphs.
You had your chance, M‘Lynn,
to be the first to say I
slapped Ouiser Boudreaux! 👋🏻

When I feel adrift, I remember Emily‘s words and they seem to shift everything into a perspective I can live with💔
Do you have something that pulls you back into the will to move forward?

The set of Two Gentleman of Verona at #bardonthebeach
I could have caught up on the #CampLitsy25 read for discussion, but instead I went to a local OPS showing of the tagged. The actors do things as close to Shakespeare's days as they can - they do not rehearse, carry scrolls with their lines and cues, gender bend (but this is PDX so don't we all normally?), They also have a guy with a whistle who calls our lines when needed and stops everything when a plane goes overhead.
The Winter‘s Tale, by William Shakespeare (ca. 1610)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A paranoid tyrant destroys his family and friendships, but everything works out in the end.
Review: I‘m slowly working my way through Shakespeare‘s catalog, and have to say this was my least favourite so far. The plot depends on a wholly unmotivated turn by a main character, whip then disappears for the meat of his narrative arc, only to reappear in time for a happy ending. ⬇️
The perfect night! No stars because the lawn performance we saw began at 5:30. But the evening was lovely- low 80s, breezy, sun with billowy clouds.This summer event has become a tradition for my former, several years retired, HS English co-teacher & me. We each brought picnic food to share & caught up with each other during intermission. 💜💜💜

Tunes blasting, cleaning house (purging and getting in all the nooks and crannies) is oddly satisfying and calming.
Weird, right?
Tickets to see A Winter‘s Tale at Blackfriars tonight. I‘m dying to see how they do the bear! 🐻
