Show must go on

So thanks to a delightful and very helpful box office worker (who made me think of Raven nearly the entire time) I now have a ticket to see King John and a membership to the OSF for a year and a half. On the member waitlist for tickets to see Doctor Jekyll as well. Happy birthday to me, although it's a little pricey.

Looking for a historian to tell me about World War I, and working extra hours at work in hopes of making up lost ground. If I actually make it tonight (which I should) I will have my first week in many months of going to the gym three times which was the original plan.

I don't know where I'm going

With recent weather, I've been thinking about places I can go for a ramble; places like Muir Woods, Point Reyes and Mount Diablo. But I'm fairly certain there are places even closer--less than the hour or two drive these others are--that I could get to. Anybody know of anywhere they're especially fond of? I'd like to get out and get a chance to enjoy these places before it gets hot. Or possibly I can find a place that's nice even when it's hot at my house.

Do they know it's Christmas after all?

I want to see Joyeaux Noel, but I'm probably going to cop out and just rent it once it's out on DVD.
