Saturday, June 8th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"The devil himself could not pronounce a
title more hateful to mine ear."

Macbeth, Act V, Scene 7, Lines 9-10.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Wow, my dear Aristus!

That is breathtakingly perfect.

I mean it!

You nailed it, big time.

Thank you! And of course, Will!

[Aristus]

2. Thank you, CalPeg.

Will would want me to say 'hi' to you for him.

It sounds better coming from him, with his Warwickshire accent.

But he's over at The Globe, waiting for it to stop raining. I can hear him now:

"Bloody rain! A pisser, this!"

It's too late to move the show over to Blackfriars, which is indoors. And fewer seats.

3. Makes me want to leave the phone out in the rain!

[Aristus]

4. I grew up with that song.

The Glen Campbell original.

This version is excellent! Very cool, very atmospheric, very......plaintive...

[In_The_Wind]

5. I grew up with the Glen Campbell one also.

I though you might enjoy the difference.

Things have changed so much in our lifetime and we aren't even old.

[Aristus]

6. Yes, they have changed a lot.

And we are not old in the least...

7. Yay, it's Caturday...

As always, Right On, you guys...er, chaps.

Big Boo on Verizon.

[Aristus]

9. Thank you, love_katz.

[femmocrat]

8. Will had great foresight, didn't he?

Thanks Aristus! Hope you are having a great weekend!

[Aristus]

10. I am.

Good to see you, femmocrat.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

11. All these scandals...

"When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions."
Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 5, lines 52-53.

[Aristus]

12. Well done!

There have been modern-dress productions of 'Hamlet' in which Polonius behind the arras is replaced with a wire-tap scenario. Very apropos.

[Aristus]

13. Kick for Sunday.
