Once in a lifetime weekend
On Saturday I saw King Lear with Ian McKellan in Brooklyn. I don't even know where to begin. They play is very sad and violent and lurches from moments of humor and hopefulness to despair and madness and disintegration. McKellan is amazing, and the whole cast was very good. We took my mother-in-law, who teaches AP English and is British, so she likes Shakespeare a lot.
We drove back to Philly Saturday night, and this morning did the MS bike ride for 30 miles with my younger daughter. Great weather, very exciting, a long way to ride. I'd done the 75 mile route the last couple of years, but in ways it was more satisfying doing a shorter distance with my kid. From there, I got dropped off at the Phillies game, which was so much fun it was almost unreal. An incredible crowd cheering a really likable team. Then straight from there to a neighborhood Sukkot party.
So what have your last 30 hours been like?
