Which is a sonnet, actually.

One of the best renditions ever is Stanley Tucci as Puck in the 1999 film version. Magical…

I was raised on Shakespeare - live performances in NY! Also Broadway shows. I was so generationally estranged from my parents (1960s-70) I didn't truly appreciate it then.

I do now, though!

1999 film version of Midsummer Night's dream.

As long as there are subtitles, we should be fine! 😆

I've had gin and tonic. New Amsterdam gin and diet tonic. Gotta keep that A1C down.

What was your choice of gin this evening?

Glad to hear about your day.

It’s a Japanese label. Excellent. Very smooth for a gin. Not as juniper-y as some others.

what would you choose? (prepared however you want on any given day, the rest of your diet is totally up to you including other vegetables, but this one chosen vegetable must be consumed daily, and also assume an infinite free supply)

One of the only cruciferous vegetables that I actually enjoy eating. Steamed to perfection is best. Butter and cheese just cancel out any health benefit.

a film could make me cry in sadness..........the Film: ...Romeo and Juliet ...

Release date: October 8, 1968 (USA)

Director: Franco Zeffirelli
Starring: Leonard Whiting; Olivia Hussey; Milo O'Shea; Michael York;
John McEnery; Natasha Parry; Pat Heywood; Robert Stephens


This was the first movie that, after the end of movie, I walked out crying
........................I saw it in spring of 1969.........................

I guess the fellow who wrote it was a very good writer.

Sorry...I had to add a small bit of humor to this post about a very sad & outstanding movie..

Also note: this was a very tiny bit of humor. Yes a Great Movie
