Happy Birthday Jo!

Today is my late sister's birthday. Here are pictures I sent to her son. I am so proud of my nephew!

R.I.P. Eunice Kennedy Shriver

1921-2009

I, too am deeply saddened by the death of Eunice Kennedy Shriver. I am saddened, not because of her passing; for she led a life full of caring, compassion, philanthropy, and empathy towards others. I am disappointed our world possesses not enough like her. Ms. Shriver taught the world how to respect those among us who are often treated with less dignity.

Naomi Sims & Twelfth Night

R.I.P. Naomi Sims

When one is in love one always begins by deceiving oneself and ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls romance. Oscar Wilde

Last night, I attended a production of Twelfth Night at Miller Outdoor Theatre's Shakespeare Festival. This was my third time seeing MOT's production of it. I recommend it as a "go see." You may like to see more of Bob Boudreaux; for his role was a cameo. In recent years he had larger parts, but this year was a return to a cameo. If you seek comfort in a familiar face, Rutherford Cravens as Sir Toby is a fine staple of our Houston festival. Guy Roberts is over the top! David Wald as Feste brought an unexpected, but well placed pop culture flavor to the production. Best of all, the temperature in the seated section was excellent 'can't wait to see Pericles.
