I got a 75 on my Financial Management exam.

We had a meeting today on a portion of our work, and the customer satisfaction for it is 78%. One of the guys in the meeting said, "Hey, that's a good, solid C." I thought my supervisor was going to choke. I looked at the guy and said, "You're in the land of the A now."

Do you get a ferruling every time you miss a word?--and enjoy the pain because it pleases papa to inflict it?

At the moment that's my guess. Or else since he didn't send her to the convent, she's now all "Handsome man, saved me from the Papists."

Suzi, Macbeth is the shortest Shakespeare play, and probably one of the most accessable. And all Shakespeare benefits from reading aloud. Somehow, it's a bit easier to figure out what people are saying when you hear it.

I bought tickets for the three of us to go when K-Bug is visiting. I had CJ read a summary of the play and he is excited about all the betrayal and murder.

When a kid of mine asks to go see a Shakespeare play, how can I say no?

You simply can't.

That's great! Talk it through first and maybe read through some of the big speeches with him before you go. It will make it more fun for him.

That does sound great.

So far, Elsie's eccentric aunt hasn't revealed many eccentricities other than dressing in unstylish clothes. And her name is Miss Wealthy Stanhope.

You simply can't.

Hell no! I'm dreaming my kids do the same.

Our school system's English teachers typically started kids out in 7th or 8th grade with Julius Ceasar because it has less sex. I think it turned a lot of kids off of Shakespeare which is tragic.

My 7th grade English teacher started us with Taming of the Shrew.

I eventually got the coolest English teacher in my high school to revive an actual Shakespeare class by rounding up the 13 other students needed to teach it. That semester rocked. I saw my first live performace of any Shakespeare (a professionally acted production of Twelfth Night which was BRILLIANT) at Notre Dame University.

1) I remember studying Macbeth when I was 16 and getting my 7 year old sister to read it with me, so we were kinda doing a playreading. She turned out okay.

2)

"Handsome man, saved me from the Papists."

laughs and laughs and laughs.

3)

her name is Miss Wealthy Stanhope.

You are fucking KIDDING me? Wow. What's the betting she dies and leaves all her money to Elsie? (Do you think she had sisters named Beautiful and Clever and Virtuous and suchlike? Or Penniless and Moderately Affluent?

More likely Pious and Worthy and Pleasing-To-The-Lord.

t still not over finding Puritan ancestors with hyphenated first names praising the Lord.
