rowanfAfter spending much of last week knocked out by a bug, I skipped various 4th of July parties so I wouldn't risk infecting my friends. But having been housebound since Tuesday I was getting cabin fever something awful. This weekend was the start of the San Francisco Mime Troupe's season and so today Russell drove me up to the City to see the latest show, Too Big to Fail.
"A story, a story!" cries the Griot. "Gather 'round, and I will tell you a tale of greed, and sacrifice, high finance, love, goats, and the terrible curse that tore our little village apart.. the evil, magical spell of... Credit!
I thought the music was great and I enjoyed the show though it was a bit preachier than some. I have long admired the Mime Troupe and it was a perfect thing to get me out of the house. The temp was mid-60s and windy. As we entered Dolores Park an entrepreneur sold us homemade peach cobbler and me a slice of quiche which were both yummy. Russell also went off to the deli and got himself a sandwich and me a Dr. Pepper. So we feasted and listened to good music and community theatre in the park.
Now I am exhausted, but I am so glad that we went. Now... to nap.
(And I admit this picture has nothing to do with the entry, I just really like it.)
