Wow! Almost Spring!   I'll post some nice spring pictures next week-end after I cut the lawn!
What a week ... where did it go?
Lynn & I went out for dinner, I had lunch out with a client and a breakfast meeting with Lois/Barry.  I only gained 1.7 pounds!!!  Oh well ... hard core dieting this week!
Saturday night Zana and I went to a UVic play.  Eurydice

If you recall, this is from Greek Mythology The Greek Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It's about the hero Orpheus who tries to say his love Eurydice from the underworld.  (she is bitten by a snake on her wedding day and dies.  He goes to the underworld and is allowed to bring her back if she follows him all the way back to earth.  There is one condition.  He cannot turn around and look at her until they enter earth again or she will die again for good. In his anxiety he turns around to look at her just before she steps over the threshold and she vanished forever.
Anyway ... this was a modern adaptation.  It was quite well done.  fabulous stage setting and costumes.
Today I went for a long walk and now am getting dressed for the Oscars.  "the Iron lady".  Zana and I went to one of the local theatres (they have a huge costume ares where one can rent just about any costume possible.  I got a wig and some pearls.  Zana is going as a "flapper" from the 20's.  This should be fun.  Pictures next week if possible .....
