Science (non) Fiction

Bravo! The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) was fabulous fun and hysterically funny, as I anticipated! Imagine three people, two guys and a girl, doing all the roles in Shakespeare’s plays, regardless of gender/age/relationship - very silly at times, but quite funny! It was originally written for 3 guys, which would have been better I think, but they still pulled it off with the one girl added in - haven’t seen my brother on stage in quite a while, so it was nice to see him having fun on stage again - this is one where he can really let loose! He got to spash water on himself about 12 times, wear women’s clothes for about half of the time on stage (which brings the number of times he’s played a woman on stage into the double digits - long story!), and fake-barf all over the first few rows of the theater several times - if you know Matthew, you know that this was probably a big incentive to doing the play in the first place!!!! Anyway, we got to see Candace (sis-in-law) and had dinner with them both afterwards - really good to catch up with her a bit, since she’s been gone all summer - will have to get over their way again soon, maybe to see her next production at the beginning of Sept - The Children of Eden, written by the same guy who did Godspell - his name escapes me right now…
I also got to see little baby Aria and Alexa and Daniel after the play - meant to take pics, but I totally forgot as soon as I got there - she’s soooooo adorable and she slept for the first 1 and half hours I was there, then woke up for the last ten minutes - they actually have to make her wake up sometimes to feed her! But she’s only 11 days old or so, so she’s still probably pretty tired from the whole being shoved through the birth canal (as is Alexa!), so maybe she’ll perk up in a little while… But you would not believe how cute she is - little button nose, funny ‘baby mullet’ hair (Daniel’s words, not mine!), incredibly long fingers and toes (you were right Frances - a budding pianist or violist!), etc… Can’t wait to see her grow up…
I better finish up some stuff - things are moving along in the lab - but I want to head to the Y tonight, so I’ve gotta get things done in a timely fashion!
