The Fredösphere

Another company lunch!  Another day without adequate blogging time.  We're heading over to La Shish, a Dearborn, Michigan-based chain with a newly-opened branch in Ann Arbor, just in time to coincide with the bad news about the owners' family.  Let's hope the denials are true; otherwise, just keep reinforcing those stereotypes, people!

On Saturday we hosted a recital for Der Drübermensch and some of his piano-playing home-schooled friends.  The event was satisfying on an artistic and social level.  Der 'Mensch demonstrated his newly-acquired performance skills (bowing, looking at the audience, announcing titles clearly, avoiding false starts) reasonably well.  Rehearsing the bows exasperated him:  "I'm not going to grow up to be an actor!"  Definitely true ... and yet, completely false; all the world's a stage, and all that.

Gotta go.  I'll try to bring back some grape leaves for you.
