Just stuff

On the 4th I spent the day with my friend John and his daughter Sara. We drove to The Woodlands where a close friend lives and joined her neighbors. There was a swimming pool, which made it a pleasant evening. The weather had cleared up nicely and it was sunny and warm. We got caught up in a lot of gridlock once the firework display was complete, that wasn't so fun. But overall it was nice.

So, last night I was bored and called John to see if he wanted to see a movie with me. Instead, he invited me to see this. Shakespeare wrote 8 plays depicting the bickering over the throne by a couple of families. They are long and, to many, very hard to follow.

So this theater had the idea of taking all 8 plays and condensing them into 25 minute plays; and then handing each one to a different director to execute. Each director was given 7 actors and $150 budget. I was quite impressed with the outcome.

There was one actor among them that I thought was really talented. I wonder if we will see more of him in other venues. His name is Eddie Chevez. There was just something about him.

Nothing more to report.
