Cocktail before dinner, wine with the entree, and my son-in-law couldn't finish his beer. So I did.
Beginning to feel like the weekend has started...

I finally got around to watching the BBC's "King Charles III". AMAZING!
For those who haven't seen it, it's like modern Shakespeare, right down to the structure of the dialogue. It's written in blank verse. But in the scenes set at the English court, the royal characters speak in a rhythm similar to iambic pentameter, whereas in scenes set elsewhere, and with non-royal characters, they speak in prose. This was the case with Shakespeare's Henry IV plays, parts I and II.
I was slack-jawed with amazement the whole time I was watching it.

I'm drunk, and proud to have lived in the Obama Era.
Wishing we were still there...
