Review from Netflix

A travesty. If you love Shakespeare, you'll hate this. If you love musicals of the 1930s, you'll hate this.

Guess I won't get too excited to see Love's Labours Lost.

Warm Sunshine

What I will miss the most about the west is the perfectly calm, warm sunshine of the summer evenings. Even on hot days, as the sun declines, and the dried grass bathes everything in a beautiful golden glow, I feel the most satisfied sensation that all is right with the world.

In Minnesota, the same time was a summer morning, as the sun rose over the cool earth, and the last of the morning doves cooed their sad sound. Watching the stars finally fade behind a brightening sky nearly brought me to tears.

Midday has never been pleasant for me. The heat and sweat on my forehead, dripping salt into my eyes, and nearly singeing my hair is a trial to be born, but not a pleasure to be sought out.

They say Akhnaten built a temple with no roof, and held court in the brilliant Egyptian sun. It was his pleasure, but I'm sure the ministers were relieved to watch the evening approach, and the desert's winds calm and cool. Even now, the only way many can bear to sun themselves is at a beach, where the wind of the ocean cools the air with moisture.

Supernatural British Columbia

I should be tired after a day like this, but central vancouver is too
much fun to let it waste.

I started off early, leaving at 530am for port angeles to catch the
coho ferry to downtown victoria. Anyone starting from Tacoma or west
should definitely give this a try. All the other ferries take you to
Sydney, 20 miles north of downtown. The coho puts you across the
street from the legislature and 2 blocks from the Empress.

The sun was low, and the air clear as I drove through the kitsap
penninsula, but as soon as I crossed the hood canal I was fogged in.
Its another 45 miles from the bridge to the ferry, and much of it is
single lane. The ferry line wasn't long, and there was room for my
car, and time for a run to the doughnut shop. The sailing was smooth,
as we neared vancouver island, the sun came out, but otherwise it was
foggy thoughout the strait.

Victoria is a charming town to explore by foot, bur finding parking
downtown is a game I'm no good at. I arrived at the pub about 11am,
and was on my way to another ferry by noon. I booked a place on the
one o'clock BC ferry to Tsawassen, and was at the holiday inn downtown
by 330.

Dinner at marias taverna in the west end, sitting at a sidewalk table,
no pigeons. Going to the park after.
