Community theater is doing Spamalot - surprisingly excellent performance considering the smallness of the theater they had to work with, we were in the front row and had the dancers practically in our laps for much of it. Monty Python is timeless.

Also started booping about with watercolors, something I've meant to do for years, got myself going by taking a brief set of "classes" - it gets quotes because the teacher didn't really teach anything, she just gave us a picture idea and then at the end of the class had everyone compare what they'd come up with... mine were awful, but are slowly improving thanks more to youtube than the teacher. At least they don't look like a grade-schooler did them anymore. May go pick up a used watercolor projects book to work through next, the "class" wasn't worth signing up for again.

We've been spending some time with community theater lately, as my daughter went back to her former high school to be the director for their play this year (a Sherlock Holmes mystery/comedy that went very well, we were sold out for 2 of the 3 performances) - now she's decided to do another play over the summer with cherry-picked students. I'm just on the side-lines, as help for costumes and props - which in this case means I apparently need to figure out how to produce 16-20 fire-pokers.

Real ones would be heavy, dangerous and expensive - so I'm thinking wood dowels with fleur-de-lis style curtain finials on the ends painted black might work.... not sure about the handles. Maybe the local wood working shop will have some turnings that would be the right look. Hmm...
