Geez--it's hot in here--81 F outside, but 88 F in my bedroom!

I have to finish the housework, but am loathe to move--sticking to everything, it's so humid in here. I hate this weather, wish it was cold again. It wasn't so bad when I had an air conditioner and a lake and/or river, with a public beach nearby. But have neither, now, so I just have to be uncomfortable and deal with it.

I am deeply sad Mr Tennant's leaving--but also, very happy for him. Hamlet would be a great role for him, I must admit. He must be very much looking forward to that.

I loved studying Hamlet, back when I was 44, during my summer class in World Lit. I got to watch the movie twice, besides reading the play. Despite having to drive the hour drive on the two-lane road to my school in Vermont, four days a week, in the hot July weather, behind long lines of senors in whopping huge caravans, with no air conditioning in my car, and then--having to roast in a hot classroom for 3 hours...it was a great class. We studied other stuff, as well, but the prof was really into Hamlet, so I got a lot out of it.
