Work and play

The sky is a bright blue and the work day is inching along. Blogger's been down most of today, so I haven't been able to pass my time here. Everytime I go to the NYT's website there's a new picture of the Pope's funeral and not much else.

Tonight Eli and I are heading down to Hyde Park to see Tom Stoppard's Travesties. Eli saw The Importance of Being Earnest for the first time ever (!) earlier this season and enjoyed it, so he will appreciate the Stoppard play all the more. Usually when we go to Court we're either caught in a downpour or it's frigid, so it will be a pleasant change to go and visit some of my favorite gargoyles while we wait for the 8:00 curtain.

Tomorrow night we go to see John Williams at the CSO. The classical guitarist, not the derivative composer! (How dare you think for even a second that we were going to a pops concert!) Other than that it's pack, pack, pack. And a jaunt out to Elmhurst first thing to pick up the environmentally friendly paint. We're getting Blue Fresco to cover the red ickiness under the chair rail and Sheer Scarf, another blue, for the curry colored bedroom upstairs (or the mastersuite, if the wall-knocking project succeeds). The palette, like all things, is an homage to Cherubino.
