Play-ing Around?


Phew! Another packed weekend! I am going to have to take some time off soon, but fall is a hard time to do that. On Saturday, Jason came down and we went to two plays. The first one was Frost/Nixon, a play about the David Frost and Richard Nixon interviews in 1977. It was our first Broadway play this year, and it was a good opening act. After the play, we drove to Malabar Farm near Mansfield. It was Louis Bromfield's house, and where Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall got married. Every year, they re-enact the 1800's drama of Ceely Rose, who was a girl who lived with her family on the property. Ceely killed her whole family because she thought that they were trying to keep her away from the boy she loved. It was community theater at its best- awkward pauses, forgotten lines, generally poor acting, all while we huddled together in an old barn, shivering in the fall weather and trying not to laugh, cry, and bolt for the door all at the same time. On Friday, I went to the always entertaining, never duplicated Pumpkin Show in Circleville with my PBF, who is still as confusing as ever. Are we dating? Are we heading toward dating? Do I even want to head toward dating, or am I just bored? I want to laugh, cry, and you guessed it, bolt for the door, all at the same time.
