Two big activities today. First was a house concert in Oakland. Left about noon, driving alone. Originally neighbor Sandy was going, but she went and had a foot operation a couple of weeks ago and isn’t mobile enough yet, so dropped out. Excellent concert by a cute couple who perform under the name The St. Louis Steady Grinders. Blues and ragtime of the early 20th century.
Back to CH in time for a quick nap before supper, and then met with Susan P in the lobby at 7 to go to the Bus Barn for a play, Heroes of the Fourth Turning. This was an impressive display of acting, two hours of heavy dialog, long speeches, complicated blocking, lots of emotional displays. The play itself… we agreed on the way back that it had problems. A close, sympathetic look at the problems and fears facing devout, young, modern Catholics. Well, youngish and modern, but maybe not devout and maybe not even Catholic? Doctrine is a tricky thing.
