Like everyone else in the region, I'm melting in the ridiculously high heat.

However, I get to take Wolfling to see Othello in a couple of hours, and the air conditioned car and air conditioned theater ought to be a significant improvement over the oven of our apartment ( Read more... )

One of the things Wolfling and I have in common is an affection for live theater -- and she has a surprising interest in Shakespeare.

As I mentioned earlier, Boston Marriage is the latest play by David Mamet. It has three ( Read more... )

Yesterday afternoon I went to see a performance of Richard III with an acquaintance from work, and it was a lot of fun ( Read more... )

I had the day off from work today to attend the first year M.Divs' Day of Reflection. It was a wonderful day, and I had the time, space and inspiration to do some serious and helpful thinking and praying about my discernment process about the board presidency issue.
