It was culture-and-the-arts day and I enjoyed it all. Met Aline at the library and we were treated to something called "The Golden Thread," a lecture with music about the musical themes running from the fifth century or so to Gershwin.
Boy, what a treat. I, the musical illiterate, was actually able to grasp what he was talking about and learn a teeny bit of what musicologists study. The gentleman who presented, Paul Mark Somers, is descended from the family who settled Somers Point. He's retired, so is "mature"--an old guy, that is--and was so knowledgeable, exuberant, and engaging, it was a treat to see and hear him. This is a series, running through May, and I hope to attend monthly.
In the evening, we had our first rehearsal for Arsenic at the Stafford Center. It went well, I think, although as it always is, it's awkward to act while holding a script and to remember blocking in an alien space.
Lunch with Leslie today.
