Shakespeare

"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more. Men were deceivers ever. One foot in sea and one on shore, to one thing constant never. Then sigh not so but let them go and be you blithe and bonny, converting all your sounds of woe into hey nonny nonny. " -Much Ado About Nothing-

I just finished watching the movie of one of my favorite Shakespeare comedies, and now I doth feel that I must speak in such verse. Just kidding, I'll spare you. I do absolutely love the language though! I could read and listen to Shakespeare all night long. The words are so elegant and full of meaning, they just flow off your tongue with grace. In high school I was blessed to participate in 2 Shakespearean plays: Much Ado About Nothing and The Tempest. Some of the best fun I've had! So rent it or Netflix it but you must watch Much Ado About Nothing (it has Denzel Washington in it so that definitely helps!!!). You may want to put the subtitles on if you have a hard time audibly following the language, it is dense at points.

On that same (kind of) note, I have a medieval trumpeter that resides in my home. His name is Bo. I know when Aaron is home because I hear Bo's weird trumpet-like howl reverberate through the house. I wish I could record it for your enjoyment but you'll have to do your best to imagine (which I realize is nearly impossible, sorry).
