Summer Solstice

Last night to celebrate a summer solstice we were going to have a potluck and small party but I waited until the night before to start planning it so it crumbled. June 21st just sorta snuck up on me! Before I knew it, BAM! there it was. So instead, Christian, Greg and I went to LePage Park downtown to watch the presentation of Shakespeare in the park. Now I thought it was going to be snippets of some plays and maybe some sonnets but was stunned to find out it was as complete 2.5 hour production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! And it was FANTASTIC! It was so well done I was blown away. At intermission the passed around rubber boots and you could give a donation but other than that you just pulled up a lawn chair, a thermos of tea, and your sleeping bag to enjoy the show. People walking by could stop and watch for a while and the people who got rained out in storm last night came back to watch the second half. But I still couldn’t get over how good the actors were and how I have a new appreciation for Shakespeare. Well delivered, I actually understood what was going on. Except for something stealing the fairy queen’s something or other, but I got the jist.
Afterwards Christian and I went out for a couple of drinks. Too many drinks later we escape conversation with 2 Newfies and a strange Irishman looking for a wife so he can stay in Canada and staggered home. Somehow or another I managed to walk the dog at 1 am or so and headed to be with the sun still shinning in the sky. Summer’s here!
