"To be or not to be, that is the question."

Or maybe it should be "To see or nor to see?" Actually, no question there.  If you don't have plans for St. Patrick's Day I highly recommend seeing "Hamlet" at First Presbyterian Theater.  Tomorrow is the last night for this show which features an all women cast.  I would have loved to have been in this play (the men get all the really good lines in Hamlet) but since I was gone on my recent trip for most of the rehearsals it really wasn't an option.  The ladies did a wonderful job.  After the first few minutes I forgot they were women and just enjoyed the acting. I also enjoyed watching the probably 11 or 12 year old boy in the row in front of me. During the long speeches (Shakespeare never uses two words where 200 will do) he sighed quietly, obviously bored, but when the knife and sword scenes were played he perked right up. Nothing like a good sword fight and people dying all over the place to grab a kid's interest. 
We also went to a really good, reasonably priced restaurant for supper first. The restaurant, called Nawa, bills itself as Asian Fusion and the food was excellent. Perfect Thai Ice Tea, I ordered my soup and Pad Tai medium hot and that was plenty hot enough for me.  My friend had her food mild, not spicy and said that was excellent too.  We both agreed we will go back again.
