A Happy Holiday....

....weekend to one and all!  Seriously difficult to believe it's already July 2nd (retro rabbit rabbit).  What a beautiful day!  It's in the 60s right now and only going up to the mid 70s -- perfect weather in my book.  

Saw a very interesting production of The Seagull last night.  The jury is really out with me and Chekhov.  I sometimes wonder if we revere him because we're supposed to or if he's a really good playwright.  Though I've read the play quite a few times, I've never seen it, so it was cool to see it done, though in my estimation, it could use a good trimming.  I'm just going to say it:  I'm not a fan.  I guess I just don't really get it.  He's very repetitive and his characters get on my last nerve:  go to Moscow already!  Tell him you love him already!  Sell the cherry orchard already!  Make a decision, for crying out loud!  It's so irritating!  And I fail to see the humor of these "comedies" when many of them end with a gunshot....maybe I'm just obtuse.  I keep trying to love him, kind of like I'm supposed to love Citizen Kane...but I don't love that, either.  Heresy, I know.  But really!  A sled?  After all that hullabaloo?  Give me a break!

Have a fab fourth!
