Out of these Woods do not Desire

The following is a true report of the happenings of 24th June 2010 in Central Park, Rochester, Minnesota, in my interactions with various personages of the Words Players, a very young but accomplished group of players who make it their business to put on the works of William Shakespeare and other excellent productions.

During the intermission, I decided to go exploring to see if I could find any of those very lovely flowers that Honeysuckle (a small scampering fairy) and her kind were showering the audience with. I didn’t find any, but it occurred to me to put my pipe in my mouth and go wandering. First I offered some pizza to a wandering player, and Oberon himself wrinkled his nose at my offer of pizza. Then I spied Queen Titania and Bottom on a picnic blanket, attended by a couple of young fairies. I sat down with my pizza on the blanket.

“Is that one of your fairies?” asked Bottom, rolling his very well-endowed ears.
“No, she has pizza,” said Titania.
“Puck makes pizza,” said a fairy.
“Puck doesn’t make pizza, he just takes it,” said Titania wisely.

Cousins, Long-Lost No More

Today at the end of a very wonderful day cooking for the Goetzes, I received a phone call from Iowa from Irene and David Hope, my long-lost second cousins (or in my parlance, uncle and auntie). Irene is the daughter of the brother of my paternal grandmother (the one who grew up in Hawaii, then Canton, Hong Kong, Malaya and Singapore). She has three children: Nathaniel in Wisconsin, Erin in Minneapolis, and Lauren in Ames, Iowa. Now I have places to visit in every state down the Mississippi until I reach St Louis, Missouri, where I will meet Darell.

I’m meeting Erin tomorrow for breakfast before I head off to the Schaeffer Institute, L’abri, in Rochester, Minnesota. God is Good. Life is hard, but good. And already outside the storms are beginning to gather.
