captainsblog* I retract my speculation about why Slings & Arrows finished after three six-episode seasons; the S3 finale was perfect. Not even a totally ironic Richard II (my thesis subject) would have topped what they did with Geoffrey, Ellen, Barbara, Sophie, Anna, Charles, Oliver and (ever so briefly) Richard in those closing moments of Lear. The conscience of the King was well and truly captured:)
* This morning's court hearing ended in a surprisingly conciliatory settlement as to what we'd be doing from here on out. Color me happy- at least for now.
* One result of that finishing so early? I got to confirm details on a real estate matter, which took me to the totally gorgeous, restored 19th century marble-cake structure that is now Rochester City Hall, where outside the atrium of the building I saw a just-married Asian couple* and their witnesses smiling for the cameras in celebration of their very special weekday wedding day. It reminded me of visiting that atrium, round about 24 years ago this month, or next, or so, to secure similar permission for our own nuptials down the road at our church. Despite not knowing either of them, or any of them, I still felt a kinship with them, and hope they're still together, and smiling, come 2035, just as we are doing both of those things even now:)
ETA.* It bothered me, this Morning After, that I'd made reference to the race of the couple. I think it may have been relevant, as in making the image sweeter, if that helped convey the image (at least the one conveyed to me) that they were immigrants to this country and being welcomed into this tangible piece of the American dream that anyone can buy at City Hall. Otherwise, I've probably got to watch me some more Margaret Cho for a sensitivity update: Asian Chicken Salad?
