daI'm quite looking forward to a choral concert in Elora this evening ("Cantus" on this program) and another choral concert on Sunday ("Paradise Found"). In between, who knows. Likely hiking tomorrow, and possibly some hanging-out and stuff. Yeah. The week seems to have zipped by quickly. I've gotten a fair bit at work done; and some great social stuff too. Life, indeed, is good.
Last night, we watched the second half of Becket, which might be up your alley if you've seen and enjoyed The Lion in Winter. Both feature Peter O'Toole as King Henry II; the guy makes the job of King sound like a real pain. First his best friend (Thomas Becket) turns out to not be a toady when he's made Archbishop of Canterbury; then his kids and wife turn out to not like him very much at all. Sucks for you, Ed...
Becket is apparently the much less historically accurate of the two films; but it's got a really wonderful story and (apart from some awful Italian accents) great acting. It's long: 150 minutes.
Time to go home. See y'all later!
