"Anna and I are above love"--The Cherry Orchard
"You've been expelled from university twice. Students are supposed to be clever, not smart"--ibid.
Dreamed of a non-existent Finnish war correspondent getting drunk on the radio while reporting on the Russo-Finnish War in a 1940 Tintin adventure; telling Frank DeJongh [whom I knew from my opera group] about it (he's Dutch-Canadian, not Finnish!); discussing the English people in India with experts.
This weekend is the noisy Salsa on St. Clair, so the parents and I went to see Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. On the way there we stopped at a big book warehouse in St. Catherines and bought a few books.
It took a while to find the theatre, which was hidden behind the old courthouse. Wonderful play.
On the way back we had dinner at a huge Mandarin restaurant in St. Catherines.
