Just got back from Ventnor and the house tour. We had a good time, first picking up the best subs in the world at Sacco's, taking them to Betty's, and enjoying them with soda and beer. On the way, I gave Barb, Susan, and Kathy a little tour of my former stompin' grounds: Rosborough Avenue, St. James Church and School, and so on.
I really wasn't nuts about the decoration of the house--"Windswept" on Atlantic Avenue--as every room was in a pretty extreme modern style, not at all in keeping with the era in which it was built, 1906. However, some of it was interesting and it was all fun to see. After, went down the Newport Avenue boardwalk to see the ocean, then home.
The plays last night were wonderful. The juxtaposition of Chekhov's "The Boor" with the contemporary spoof "Babel's in Arms" was so inventive and members of the cast of the entirely different comedies were just superb. Friend Frank D. was stage manager and "prompter," although he had few duties in that area. I sent Desi, the founder and director of the Little Egg Harbor Community Theatre Group, a congratulatory e-mail message.
Got a nice note from friend Lynne, of Rehobath Beach. She and Bob just adoped a kitten they call "Doodlebug"--love that name!
