Won first prize at the fair today. I get to take my ribbon home sometime next week.
Saw Measure for Measure at the Bard. It's a play that defies categorization. Not tragic enough to be a tragedy, but far too dark to be a comedy. I'd be more inclined to call it a tragedy though, because though no one dies in the end, truth and innocence falls victim to lust and corruption, and none of that is really made right by the end of the play. Shakespeare must have been feeling pretty cynical about the world when he wrote that one.
Ate a pleasant salad nicoise at Bridges where the tuna was delicious, though a tad overdone for my liking. I like it rare, really rare. Like flopping around on your plate rare. Once I find some decent grade fish nearby I'm going to cook stuff like that here too.
We met vikings on the high seas, but the water was so rough that they had to be towed back in to the dock. Crazy Norwegians. No trans-Atlantic trips today.
The water was so rough that it kept stealing the sticks away from the dogs on the beach. Poor guys.
I didn't mind though. The wind made the heat almost bearable.
