party culture (day 177)

It was great having family visit for the weekend.  They came for the olympics and in so doing gave us the closest thing to olympic fever we'll experience.   We went downtown, visited some of the houses, cheered with strangers, and bought noisemakers.  And there was lots of food and drink.  An exhausting but perfect weekend.

Taking a bit of a social break, we saw Robert Lepage's "The Blue Dragon" this afternoon.  It was an amazing production with a surprisingly delightful ending.  The pace was flawless and the sets and effects breathtaking.  I enjoyed myself immensely.  The story was real.  Nothing glamorous or saturated.  Just people struggling to be happy and trying to find home.  There were only three actors but the setting felt full nonetheless.   Impressive.

By far the best part of the weekend though was being surrounded by the sound of birds in the morning.  They were loving the sun and so were we.

A song for this post.
