I’ve been wanting to see a Tom Stoppard play staged live for years and years, since I first read the play in 1999 or 2000 (ish). And I just found out that it’s playing here in Vancouver tonight… so, yes! I’m totally going to go see it! 🙂 Hooray!

From Vancouver 2009 A few tidbits about my day today.
