Mark Schreiber just returned from Greece and Ireland and sent these photos taken with his cell phone  while hiking outside Dublin and in hall next to the Book of Cells.  I added the background music, “If I Had Maggie in the Wood” by The Chieftains.

Mark and Ginger called yesterday to say they had two extra tickets to “Joey and Maria’s Italian Comedy Wedding” at the Matrix Club in Boston. The dinner theater production was their daughter, Molly’s, idea, but she was back in school in New York and couldn’t accompany them.

It wasn’t until we’d picked the best seats, closest to the stage that Ginger announced, “Did I mention this is an audience participation event?” Of course she hadn’t, because she knows Diane would have never agreed to come. However, Mark had THE prime seat and a willing temperament to occupy it. In fact, he gave the cast members more than they could have imagined.

See for yourself.

Thanks, Molly, for an uproarious night out.

Differences of Opinion

1

He Tells Her

He tells her that that the earth is flat-
He knows the facts, and that is that.
In altercation fierce and long
She tries her best to prove him wrong.
But he has learned to argue well.
He calls her arguments unsound
And often asks her not to yell.
She cannot win. He stands his ground.

The Planet goes on being round.
