Another well done production at the Shakespeare Theatre, even though this isn't our favorite play.

A Perfect University Evening

10/22
A Perfect University Evening

Dinner at the Quad Club, and then Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe at the Court. Life Imitates Art?

P to Pittsburgh

A work trip to Pittsburgh, but snuck in a trip to the Carnegie International.

Ms. S to Boulder

Ms. S is off to Boulder to help her mother, who's having her other hip replaced. What a good daughter.

Cubs and Ren Ben

The Braves had an answer for every Chicago score, and took the lead in the eighth to end the Cubs' playoff hopes.

Houston Trip and Trip Up

Just did a quick work trip to Texas, where I was reminded that, even though all hotels look alike and you can forget where you are, when you are standing in the lobby in TEXAS, holding a copy of the NY Times, when asked: "Well, what kind of what-for is the NY Times giving George Bush today?", the correct response is not: "All he deserves."

Notable visits: Menil, Rothko Chapel, MFA Houston, and the Contemporary.

Not that Michael Moore

Michael Moore is Legs! Our friend Michael's one-man show about the rise of a "white trash" boy. It has it all. Love the dress, you're a juvenile success.

Mr. J visits

Ms. S.'s father in town for a very nice visit.

Jury Service

Oprah set the tone. I did my duty, spent the day in the waiting room--sprung at 4:30 pm.

Cubs v. Brewers, Home Run Fest

Lee Grand Slam, Alou homers, need I saw more?

The fabulous PT Visits

Purple was the color. Club Bon Appetit was the theme.

Comings and Goings

My sister M and husband A in town with their kids. Good food, good fun. Ms. S off to Boulder for JS's memorial service.

England

A great week in England with B and J and the kids. And a trip to Sway to see Ms. S's Uncle and family.
