1776

For anyone interested who is unfamiliar with the musical 1776, a YouTube playlist with all the songs, including those that were cut from the theatrical release of the film.

Though I don't have to wear several layers of wool every day, I do feel the need to say "Gentlemen, I fear you hardly knew how bad it could get when you complained it was "Hot as hell! In Philadel! phia!""

ennnnn whyyyy seeeee

To NYC today for a post-marriage celebration honoring a friend of breadandroses. The event was scheduled to be in a biergarten; when it was planned I don't think anyone thought about the possibility of Germany playing a World Cup match at that precise moment. The biergarten was, of course, a MADHOUSE. Fortunately, just as we were staring at the mob thinking "oh, shit" B&R got a text from the bride saying "we've fled to the restaurant across the street."

We repaired across the street and proceeded to get genteely plastered with fancy Asian-fusion cocktails (all it took was one apiece) and genteely sobered up with spring rolls and massaman curry. Later we had a walk along the High Line park and then past the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church.

Yesterday I finished reading volume 2 of L.M. Montgomery's journals. Many of the events of Rilla of Ingleside and Anne's House of Dreams were prefigured, and as when I was reading volume 1, I have the itch to journal more consistently and coherently.
