I saw the play years ago and enjoyed it. Just as dramatic as I remember.

Traditions:
1. Watching “Easter Parade“ and “Singin' in the Rain“ every Easter with my Family. Same with “It's a Wonderful Life“ and “A Christmas Carol“ on Xmas Eve.
2. Sitting on the porch during a rainstorm.
3. Getting away with the pups every autumn to see the leaves change.
4. Going with Matt to at least one football game (high school or college) instead of watching from home.
The list goes on ...
Not afraid of judgement. 🧡💜💛

I made another attempt at reading this classic and I so badly wanted to like it and I couldn‘t even finish it. I know I‘m a minority in this but I‘ve always thought Ibsen was a better playwright.

“Each of us is afraid. It‘s there in the way we hold our cups. It‘s in the way we look about us, squinting into the misty nooks of the bar to see what‘s hidden…….Tonight we‘re not drinking to forget, but to remember and dream. It‘s hope that makes us afraid and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, because it means he has something to lose and to win.”

I‘m in Stratford Ontario this week, enjoying the theatre festival. Today‘s our last day, with As You Like It and Danté‘s Inferno on the agenda. Favourite so far is a difficult choice, but I think I will never again see such a remarkable production of Macbeth as Robert Lepage‘s, which is set amidst a biker gang in the 1990s. ?❤️

Today is not only the anniversary of a horrible day in US history, it‘s also my mother‘s birthday. We lost her several years ago, and Litsy was wonderfully supportive at the time. @Chrissyreadit suggested that I share something special about her, so here goes.

I still think of her often and the influence she had on my life. When I was in high school, she thought it was important that I have some “culture” in my life, so she bought us ⬇️

It‘s here!! National Book Awards longlist week!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Today‘s lists are translated lit and young people‘s lit (you‘ll have to go their website for the latter, which I don‘t follow). I‘ve actually read 2 of these, the Kang and Hunchback, and the Balle and Barrera don‘t release until November, which is always frustrating. I am loving the cover of Sleep Phase and We Computers only has 3 ratings on Goodreads, so I love seeing it elevated here.
