True facts. And hey, I got a lot of work done.

Much ado about *something*?
Or a *dark* comedy of errors?

Monk, I think I love you!

I was a Keystone Kop in a college production of A Comedy of Errors once. In whiteface. It was a hoot. None of us understood it but the director, but it was a blast.

I hope my *walk* will continue in focus for you to appreciate for as long as time allows both of us to continue growing....

That's a seriously DEEP inuendo with parady overtone.... Holy toledo that would have been..... Intense to watch.
When in college we did "A comedy of Errors" as well. No parady paint work.
That's just "Wow"..... Keystone cops..... Just wow.

To speak to the topic of the thread title, how the virus is affecting my life .... I'm losing a friend over it. I'm so isolated out here anyway, so far from my family, this woman has been very precious to me. But this virus has been unexpectedly divisive. We have not gotten together since this began, of course, but yesterday we were able to go somewhere "together" in separate vehicles. I was looking forward to seeing her. I figured we could actually talk briefly so I put on my mask and rolled down my window. She approached, unmasked. I pulled back from her and asked her to step back or mask. She said she thinks masking is stupid and unnecessary. It felt like she was saying that I am stupid. She said she couldn't see me because the mask covers my face, and she couldn't hear me because it muffles my voice. I knew that wasn't true. She has said she doesn't believe Covid is any worse than the flu, that the media are faking the numbers of infections and deaths, etc. I felt that she was saying that I am stupid for wearing a mask and taking the virus as seriously as I do. I was hurt and felt insulted and alienated. And now I feel even more isolated and lonely than before. Covid is affecting everyone in so many ways, even if it doesn't make them sick. I'm sad.

"Comedy" is a bit of a farce to start with, isn't it? The director made a farce out of Shakespeare's farce, taking it WAAAAAY over the top! I think his point (assuming he had one) was to show his audiences that Shakespeare was not a stuffy old non- relevant fuddy-duddy, too boring to read or comprehend. This was NOT your grandfather's Shakespeare! We filled the house for six productions, I believe, over two weekends.

Thanks. I breathe when I can... laugh when I need to.... and cook!

Gawd.... I need to go-to bed 35 minutes ago.

Yet, I want to share a memory directly connected to this..... The conduit between comedy & tragedy.....

Until tomorrow then?
