Egads. It's the kind of weather where knitting is not at the top of the priority list. I was in East Hampton on Wednesday night. When I went out on Wednesday, I had a nice time knitting on the bus (not on Rosetta, just on a simple Koigu scarf) and I even got a full round or so of the border done in my hotel room on Wednesday night. But I spent yesterday walking around out there in East Hampton, before taking the bus back, reading instead of knitting, then walking a bit more in Manhattan, seeing a show, and walking home.
When I got home? All I wanted to do was sit in front of the AC and soak up some cold. And have some dinner.
The show I saw was wonderful - it's the new Terrence McNally play, "Dedication or the Stuff of Dreams" starring Nathan Lane. It's a wonderful play, about all sorts of topics ranging from theatre to adultery to euthanasia. It's beautifully written, with some lovely elegaical (is that even a word) monologues. Since it's a limited run and since Nathan Lane is starring, the tickets are pretty tough to get (I scored mine because I saw the Nathan Lane news late at night a few weeks ago, as soon as it hit the news wires) but if you can get a ticket to this show, you should go see it. It's almost a shame that Lane is already booked for the sold out "Odd Couple" he and Matthew Broderick will do this fall, because this show deserves a Broadway transfer.
Anyhow, I have to run because I have to get a few errands done before work... Talk to you soon. And hopefully with more knitting content!
