This might be interesting....

This is the first year I've come to Ashland without having had a chance to pre-read the shows I'm going to see. Hamlet does not worry me, but I've never read Henry VI and I don't remember how familiar I am with Twelfth Night.

DairyState Dad asks a question

"Why is it that when we talk about blue-collar workers, 'competitive' means wage cuts, and when we talk about CEOs, 'competitive' means higher salaries?"

Notes and catching ups.

There was yummy Indian buffet today at Taj with the slowest service I've had in quite some time. But I made a tandoori butter chicken burrito with naan.

I have been asked to find somebody here to proctor my Statistics exam. I tracked down a lab in Medford who will do it for only $30, if my professor gets them the information in time.

Also, we have a white Dodge AVENGER and I am disappointed every time I am reminded that John Steed is not driving it for us.

FIRST REVIEW:
Twelfth Night in the Allen Pavillion. Well played, very amusing. Perhaps a little too broad for my taste at times, and then there's the painful "I haven't seen you in all of three months so I have no idea what you look like" moment. But the Fool was great, Malvolio was devastating (until the last scene), and the timing was excellent, and I really liked the set. (Simple layout with one moving part--a window on the second level of the astroturf arch that opened up.) Antonio's crush on Sebastian was adorable, and I highly approve.
