We are having a wonderful time on our annual trip to Ashland. I think even Rick is enjoying it — Macbeth was truly terrifying. And he and Will went to Music Man yesterday and both loved it. It was Will’s first full-length play, and it was apparently really entertaining for the kids as well as adults. The mayor, in particular, was a show-stealer. Now I want to see it!
It’s wonderful seeing friends, sharing big Thai and Indian dinners out, keeping the kids up way too late (it’s 9:30 a.m. and Will is still sleeping.) Though Kymberly, who is in the midst of her own Shakespearean adventure, is being totally missed by everyone. We must get her down here next year. And for anyone reading this, go watch her act in “As You Like It” in Oregon’s wine country in the next few weeks. Kymberly asked me to share my thoughts on the plays, so I’m sharing what my head was buzzing with this morning as I relived the play “Equivoation” last night. It’s rough, but I want to get it posted before Will wants up. Note to Kymberly and Brent — you gotta get down here and see it before the season’s out.
