Musicals!
We saw "My Fair Lady" with some friends at the Arena Stage. It was very well done. Great performance and music.... even if the end of the story leaves some to be desired. Remember, the Rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain! A local children's theater did "Oklahoma" at a school near our house. We actually walked over to the performance. The leads were really good, and we were impressed. Some of the age and height differences were entertaining though. The peddler man was a 6th grader, with Ado Annie being played by a high school senior.
Technology
It's been nonstop technology adventures this month. I cleaned up an old computer we were preparing for a friend, and uninstalled programs, deleted old files, and defragmented the disk. James and I got smart phones on Black Friday. Overall we love them, but it has been a new adventure figuring out how we want everything set up. I got a larger external hard drive to make back-ups for my computer. The screen on my laptop had been flickering and gave out the end of November. A kind friend had mercy on us and helped me recover some of the recent files I lost when the screen actually did go out. Using his monitor I again went through the process of trying to clean up another computer in case it would be use to someone. In my naivety I thought that the Windows 8 that came with my new computer wouldn't be that different than the previous operating systems. Urgh. It's a love/hate relationship. I have decided that my frustration and slowness to embrace new technology means that I am old. I may never actually figure all these things out.
Dinner with friends
Fortunately we still have friends with birthdays and otherwise want to get together, so I've been able to enjoy Indian, Thai, Italian.
Baby Showers, Concerts, and getting ready for Christmas..
