Happy Thanksgiving Day in the USA! (and anywhere else where people want to celebrate )
Today's Question:
Thursday is the anniversary of Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway so that's excuse enough to ask:
What did you think of the Shakespearean works you studied (or were supposed to study ) in school or college?
Bonus Question: This year are you hosting or being a guest somewhere for any of the holidays?
Foodie Questions: If there are any dishes or foods that are special to your family at any time of the year, what are they and what makes them stand out?
Just for fun - fill in the blank: I sometimes wonder how __________________ works.
Today in History: 1582 William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway married in Stratford upon Avon, England. The couple had a bond from the local church authorities letting them marry immediately, avoiding the normal banns, a procedure that took months. The bond cost forty pounds, twice the yearly salary for the Stratford schoolmaster. The cost was put up by two local farmers who were friends of the bride's late father. The groom was eighteen years old, the bride was twenty-six, and their first child, Susanna, was baptized six months later. An early birth.

Happy Thanksgiving Day in the USA! (and anywhere else where people want to celebrate )
Today's Question:
Thursday is the anniversary of Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway so that's excuse enough to ask:
What did you think of the Shakespearean works you studied (or were supposed to study ) in school or college?
I was first exposed to Shakespeare outside of school.
My mother's family would go to a couple theatre companies in Maine (Camden & Monmouth) to see plays in the summer, and they brought me along.
I admit, the language is really problematic for me, and I couldn't understand what was going on.
I think the works are a milestone in our culture, but the vocabulary/speech is a barrier-to-entry for many.
Bonus Question: This year are you hosting or being a guest somewhere for any of the holidays?
No, but I'm accustomed to disregarding holidays, not being close with family, and eating my junk food alone (without having someone give me a guilt trip about my food choices).
Foodie Questions: If there are any dishes or foods that are special to your family at any time of the year, what are they and what makes them stand out?
None that I'm aware of.
My parents never were much for making food.
Just for fun - fill in the blank: I sometimes wonder how __________________ works. More like, what *don't* I wonder about ?
I could fill in: the social contract, personal relationships, machines, medicine, the internet, recorded music, airplanes, all sorts of complex multi-dimensional phenomena.
Know I could do a search for the hows & whys, but reading explanations fails to help me really comprehend the inner workings of such complicated realities.
Today in History:
1869 1st chewing gum patent to W. F. Semple of Mt vernon, Ohio I chew gum almost constantly when I'm out of the house, keeps me from getting dry mouth
Thanks for the early Qs, bjh.
Hope everybody has a tolerable enough Txgiving day, without too much stress & hassle.
Here's a clip (5 mins.) that I find adorable, it offers a silver lining to those of us spending the holiday(s) alone:

Happy Thanksgiving Day in the USA! (and anywhere else where people want to celebrate)
Today's Question:
Thursday is the anniversary of Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway so that's excuse enough to ask:
What did you think of the Shakespearean works you studied (or were supposed to study) in school or college? I didn't like them at the time, but once in a while now I enjoy reading Shakespeare.
Bonus Question:
This year are you hosting or being a guest somewhere for any of the holidays? I'm having Thanksgiving dinner at my house because I am still unable to go out post foot surgery. My sis and I decided to use a caterer this year because of our unusual circumstances, so she and her hubby will be picking up our dinner for four from one of our favorite restaurants. It should work out well.
Foodie Questions:
If there are any dishes or foods that are special to your family at any time of the year, what are they and what makes them stand out? For Thanksgiving, we like the traditional turkey with stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

Today Is:
Thanksgiving Day Yay! Let's eat!
French Toast Day Yum! I love French toast. Can't make any on Thursday, though, since I don't have any bread in the house.
Gobble gobble, everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!

~ Life's a gift. Don't waste it. ~
Some Shakespeare I adore, some is a bit too heavy.
Where I work Shakespeare would visit and it's thought that perhaps two of his plays were performed there for the first time, one in the presence of King James I in 1603.
It's a bit of a corny clip to choose especially with the music, but this is wonderful;
Today's Question:
Thursday is the anniversary of Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway so that's excuse enough to ask:
What did you think of the Shakespearean works you studied (or were supposed to study ) in school or college?
I went to a redneck cow college. The school did not center around Shakespeare. Was never on any of my reading lists
Bonus Question: This year are you hosting or being a guest somewhere for any of the holidays?
No plans so far. I did overhear the dust bunnies under my bed planning a raid on my kitchen once I cooked dinner.
Foodie Questions: If there are any dishes or foods that are special to your family at any time of the year, what are they and what makes them stand out?
Corned Beef and Cabbage. We always had it on March 17th. Lot of options for the leftovers. Might make reuben sandwiches. Could be corned beef hash
