Trying again

OK, so these weren't taken on Halloween proper (see my post from yesterday for an explanation). But they are of the kids in their costumes. IEM was, of course, Buzz Lightyear. Her Highness was a chicken. We called her Colonel Cluck because, well, it fits her personality.
Note the "feet" on her suit...hilarious. Good thing she went as a chicken because it was a toasty costume and she needed it...it was actually "mild" here on Halloween: only in the upper 40s that evening.

Today it snowed. I kid you not. I have a photo to post of the house in the snow. It was "only" an inch or so but still...it's early November.

I went today to see the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "The Tempest" at the Power Center. The University of Michigan residency is the RSC's only U.S. performance venue for this year. Patrick Stewart aka Professor Xavier or Captain Jean-Luc Picard played Prospero. It was a fabulous production with a modern retelling. I'm guessing they staged it in Iceland near the turn of the 20th century. Absolutely marvelous production. You can imagine that seeing the RSC live makes other Shakespeare productions pale in comparison.

Well, off to mop the kitchen floor. Yes, some things never change.

Thanks for stopping by.
