As our son’s wedding is happening on Sat Oct 3, I am working to a Friday deadline this week. We will be having a rehearsal dinner, lots of overnight guests, and a post wedding Sunday brunch. Not to mention a very big day on Sat.! We will be leaving Oct. 7 to spend a week in the UK where we will attend the wedding of the daughter of very good friends. As a result, this will be my last blog for a couple of weeks as I will be unlikely to be watching much TV while we are going to be touring around London. I hope to see lots of plays while we are there and will report back.
