It was a good weekend. Went to four plays (two were one-acts on the same ticket), two of which were student-written. Mind you, these students are third-year MFA students, but students nonetheless. Excellent plays all around. If you hear of a Lia Romero or Demetra Kareman play, you will not be disappointed to see it.
On Sunday, on a whim I decided to try out Google's new patent search. And sure enough, there were my great-grandfather's
patents on
reclining chairs. It's sad...my parents used to have one of these, but it was destroyed along with a lot of our other treasured possessions when our house fell apart.
Moving on, I had a good time spent at Meeting for Worship, a wonderful gentleman named
Sandy Shevack came to speak to us about the work he is doing to help youth in Passaic, NJ.
I'll leave y'all with a haiku I spent the first half of meeting composing:
Sudden as fireworks,
the Forsythia bushes
celebrating spring.
