E. Writer Yeeees!

Roy Scarbrough Last week I attended an extraordinary live performance of the Taming of the Shrew. The usual narrative is that Katharina's spirit is finally broken by Petruccio and becomes an obedient wife. On closer examination the play shows Shakespeare undermines that narrative. That narrative set in Italy's Padua is a presented as a play within a play, being observed by a patrons of an English country tavern, one of which is delusional. Katharina is an actor, so her final speech addressing the virtues of a wife's obedience is ironic, and humliates the other character's whose new wives are now showing signs of disobedience, through a ruse that she and Petruccio concoct together to expose gender role hypocrisy. So, perhaps not broken at all.

Steven Naugle Truth !

E. Writer 💯

My favorite poet โค๏ธ

E. Writer She was so wise.

I made Steak Pizzaola. This Italian dish consists of : Sirloin steak, onion, garlic, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, crushed tomatoes, orgeno, basil, and other seasonings.

Steven Naugle Someone's lucky !

I made a nutella chocolate cheesecake pie. I bought a chocolate pie crust. The filing is a mixture of Nutella, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk. The topping is a combination of Cadbury milk chocolate and nutella.

E. Writer Looks good!

Steven Naugle Looks Delicious

Roy Scarbrough That looks so good. I wish we had European Nutella. American Nutella is made with palm oil.

Amber Diva Thank you for the compliments 😊

E. Writer Indeed. Shows character too.

Alex Morton The saying is that 80% of success is showing up and it has been attributed to Woody Allen.

Roy Scarbrough The hardest adult lesson is when you become the last surviving member of your original nuclear family. Parents gone. Siblings gone. The lesson is you learn how short precious life is, and learn to make the best of what remains.

Alex Morton My children and grandchildren make me feel my own nuclear family stretching into the future ... it's the loss of my wife that leaves me stranded on a desolate shore.

Seeing this car today made my Friday special ๐Ÿ˜

Alex Morton Austin?

Amber Diva I donโ€™t know but it certainly looks like one

Alex Morton Some of the English sedans, such as the Austin, Humber, the English Ford, the Morris, as well as English sports cars such as the MG, and Triumph are amongst the coolest cars ever built. None of them were high end but they were all very special. I've driven them all (not owned) and rallied a friend's MGB in Nova Scotia and they were all a bit quirky and very much unlike American beasts. They're the polar opposite of muscle cars ... which I've never liked.

Alex Morton Low-end French cars are a whole different story. The only one I ever owned was a new Simca 1000 ... very cheap, and rightly so. It was a piece of junk that blew up one night on the Maine Turnpike ... just a year old. Italian cars? I owned Fiat 124 sports coupes at two different times that were great fun to drive but there's a reason they say that FIAT stands for "Fix It Again Tony".

Alex Morton Long ago I came upon the phrase, "follow the path with heart in it" and I've followed it ever since.

Arquay Books I feel that. Pleasing myself is top priority.

Alex Morton I wouldn't put it that way. For me, the path with heart in it has been my family and the life I had with my wife. It wasn't just about me. It was about us. Sometimes the path with heart in it is pleasing others. I'm not part of the "me" generation.
