silence

Our house is very quiet.

We drove into the city - that took an exceptionally long time. My good husband had to pick me up at work and then drive get back on the Freeway - it took us close to 2 hours. This was very stressful. We like to get to Bard on the Beach early and be close to the front of the queue. We like to have lots of options to choose our seats. We like to eat our Safeway Select Deli Sandwiches calmly; picnic style. We did none of this. We very very late. We were so far back from the front of the line we were closer to the end of the line. We had to stand on the concrete next the extremely full garbage can (the city workers are still on strike) and eat our sandwiches.

The gates opened quickly and we headed for the tent to watch Julius Caesar. We ended up with fairly good seats. I had Mr and Mrs Tall sit in front of me - so I could not see the stage as clearly as I would have liked. But, we were just glad to be sitting together!

The play was good; not great. A little disappointing. Overall the season was much weaker than previous years. Don't get me wrong - it was still a very enjoyable evening, the weather was spectacular and I enjoy seeing Shakespeare performed but I was not particularly wowed.

Tonight we will watch The Last King of Scotland. I have a friend who is teaching in Uganda now. I expect the movie will be difficult to watch.

The skies have gone grey. What shall we eat for dinner?
