It Works!

So, I now know that it will work. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to write because I'm off in a few to see Milton's 'Paradise Lost' at the Hackney Empire. Last night I went the Globe Theatre with the young adult group from St. Anne's and saw Shakespeare's 'Titus Andronius.' Very bloody play. A few people in the audience passed out. Not because they're all squeamish but because of the poor air circulation (the hole in the ceiling which allows for natural lighthing) was partially blocked because of black sheets the director wanted up there for mood. That wouldn't have been so bad, but the director also had a smoke machine puffing out stage smoke at regular intervals for mood. We were standing for about 2 hours when the fainting began and some people, I'm sure, had not enough food throughout the day. Add it all up and it's bound to happen. Very well performed though! I'm sure an English major with a feminist bent could use all the violence, mutilation, and possessive treatment of women as fodder for a thesis.

And I've used up my available time. So I once again promise to try to get photos up in the next day or two and find a way to post the last couple months' newsletters. If you don't remember any such promises, it's because I made them but they didn't get posted.

Cheers! :-)

will this post?

Before I once again invest time in writing a post only for Blogspot to malfunction and me lose everything, I'm doing a test post. And this is it. I hope you have enjoyed it.

April and May Newsletters

The April and May newsletters have been sent! April a couple of weeks ago and May today. Unfortunately I have run out of memory on the tripod site to load them. And as I'm going on holiday starting tomorrow morning, it'll have to wait until I get back before I can remedy the problem with a new site. I really apologize. Especially to those of you whose computers have crashed trying to load them. Ouch.

Off to Manchester tomorrow am, Liverpool Saturday, Dublin Monday, Belfast Wednesday, and I don't really know beyond that. But I've got a ticket from Cardiff to London booked for Saturday. I'll see what happens.

And that's the update from here. About 45 days until I land back in Detroit. I'll get to see my cats!!!
