Asymptomatic

The other day whilt out picking up some sandwiches at Quiznos I noticed something very strange out of the corner of my eye as I passed Second Lake.

In my little home town, we have a series of small lakes that are mostly surrounded by parks and walking paths. The lakes came about when water filled in the clay quarries around which the town formed. First Lake is the largest of the lakes and is also the deepest. Cars that accidentlaly drove into the lake would likely not ever be found again.

Second Lake is smaller than First, but is shallower. In the winter when it freezes over kids use it as a hockey rink. In the spring and summer, geese migrate in for the bread feedings by park visitors, which is now outlawed by town ordinance and carries a hefty fine.

It was in Second Lake that I first saw it. I didn’t really believe it - I thought I had imagined something while driving by. But then I saw more in First Lake, and I had to stop to see what was going on.

Guess someone else’s 1-100 number consistently for better than break-even odds.

On Saturday night, Berta and I went to Wilmington to see Chicago performed on stage at the DuPont hotel using tickets that Mom got Berta for Christmas. I had never seen Chicago before, either on stage or on screen, so this was a new experience for me.

The DuPont is an interesting venue. It’s a hotel in downtown Wilmington with a stage theater inside. There are mezzanine and balcony levels. It’s a tiny little auditorium with tiny seats. I sat with my knees pressed against the chair in front of me and couldn’t move my legs through most of the show. After a while, my hip was in quite a bit of pain, similar to when I drive long distance. No permanent damage done, but still not quite as comfortable as one might like for sitting to enjoy a show.

The musical Chicago is primarily about an exotic dancer in the 1920’s who murders her lover and is eventually - through a series of publicity stunts that woo the public - set free by the court, thanks to her lawyer.

A new preview of Opera 9 will be available tomorrow that includes web widgets and bit torrent functionality.
