Shakespeare at Mary Rippon

We went up to Boulder last Friday to stroll once more through the Economics Building and Hellems and a few others. Classics, it seems, is no longer in the Education building. Like Pacino in "Scent of a Woman", we are touring historical pleasures one last time before we put on our dress blues and end the suffering . It's all come full circle. A Midsummer's Night Dream was playing at the Mary Rippon outdoor amphitheatre and we took the chance to catch it. Very good production. This play means a lot since we were in a production of it at the Jewish Community Center back in summer of 1978, I think, after I graduated from GW. And, the year before that, I had gone up to Boulder for an Engineering School sales pitch. We saw "The Merchant of Venice" at Mary Rippon that August of 1977. We saw the news of Elvis's death on a TV in the dorm. I did love it up at CU. And it made sense to hang around eight years. It would never be that cheap to attend classes and the perceived opportunity cost was still close to zero.
