"The Play's The Thing.........................."

Good Morning;
Another late night/early morning, end of the day wrap-up report.
Went to sleep at 3:30 am. after signing off computer,
woke up at 9:00 am., peed and took meds,
went back to sleep until Noon, went to Giant for coffee & food,
ate a salad behind the library at the picnic table & read,
went to Jenn's, showered, shaved, had 2nd cup of coffee,
walked to R. R. Plaza Metro station bus loop, read for an hour,
caught 6:40 pm. bus almost to JCC, walked rest of way,
sat and read for 30 minutes until doors opened at 7:30 pm.,
met Rachel and her sister and the 'ex' and 'friend' as they came in,
watched the Jewish Theatre Workshop production of 'The Dybbuk',
waited for bus back to Jenn's and took other bus route halfway then
walked when first bus passed in the OPPOSITE direction at the time
it should have been going BACK to Metro station,
stopped at Jenn's long enough to grab bags and rush to bus stop
to catch 11:30 bus back to shed and stood and waited until it showed at 11:49,
went into gas station and played $2.00 on Keno for 30 minutes until lose-lose,
came over to shed and rearranged sleeping gear for warmer temperatures,
checked e-mail and am writing this post!
And so it goes....

"The Dybbuk" (Between Two Worlds)-A Tale Of Love, Kabbalah, Possession, & Destiny, written in 1912-1917, by S. Ansky
The play went very well and was extremely interesting. Rachel made her walk -on in the first 15 minutes and left for the babysitters. I gotta give the 'ex' her props for
her performance, she played a couple-three parts, all basically the same, but she was made for the role of an old 'bubby' in a 'shtetl' in late 1800s Poland.
She nailed the part, and in a perfect over-the-top in character performance.....chewed the scenery to shreds!
It is a fascinating play that I am not even going to attempt to explain or summarize other than to say it is very Jewish in content and meaning and mysticism. Google it, and there are a few film versions out there to view.

I am picking Rachel up after her appearance tomorrow..(today)..and we going to lunch and Starbucks and she will be picked up after the play ends. I'm done for now,
Later...........................Dave
