[Disclaimer: Although this is dated Saturday evening, I’m really writing this Sunday morning. I often do this for the late night entries, so if the tense gets screwed up, that’s why]
Today has been pretty good, although it ended with one of the headaches I often had. I have to remember to keep Excedrin with me.
During the day, I went to the barber (and am no longer quite so shaggy), filed all my Temple paperwork (so that I can transfer it easier), and updated my master calendar. In particular, I added dates for the Concerts in the Park that VCC [May 27 Update: The link now works] sponsors. These are free Sunday afternoon concerts that are held in Warner Park in Woodland Hills. The three that were of potential interest to me were: July 11, Preservation Hall Jazz Band; July 18, Young Dubliners; and August 29, Glenn Yarbrough and the Folk Reunion. For sure, I know we’ll make it for Preservation Hall Jazz Band; Dixieland can be fun, even if you can’t cakewalk.
This evening, we went to the Pasadena Playhouse and saw Enchanted April [review]. I’d recommend folks to go see this, but it closes Sunday night. This is the story of four women who rent a castle in Italy, filled with wisteria, for a month in April, shortly after the “Great War”. During the month, their dour rain-wearied British souls become re-enchanted, and you see each rediscover the enchantment within themselves. A very good play, with some excellent actors and actresses. My wife liked Chris Conner, who played Anthony Wilding, the castle owner; I liked Nancy Bell (who played Lotty Wilton) and Monette Magrath (who played Lady Caroline). Next up on the Playhouse schedule is a musical: 110 in the Shade, with music from the folks that did The Fantastics and I Do! I Do!.
