Lora and I went to the Folger Theater on East Capitol last night to see King Lear. An NCC actor who landed a part in the play gave us tickets. Great performance. I’m not a huge Shakespeare buff But it was really cool. You just feel more cultured sitting there

What’s so funny is that they are speaking English, but I feel like I understood about a third of what they said. You really have to concentrate! I did enjoy using as many Old English words as I possibly could the rest of the night–Whitherto, Hitherto, Hark, Lo, Lo and Behold, My Lady. That’s about all I’ve got.

It is so easy for couples, dating or married, to get in a rut. A little Shakespeare was a fun change of pace.
