Summer is wonderful in the park... It brings out the fairies and the better things withing you... Summer is the season to dream again... and the "Dream" in the High Park is a wonderful place to be...
Ross loved the "Dream in the Park" and wanted to attend the two plays that each summer they offered...
He repeated; "What's there not to like...?" Of course he did not expect an answer...
Ross wanted to be there, but as in everything he had his ritual too...
We had to be there early... Have a "happy hour"... In the Park he insisted on wine only... So it was... Then we had to dine in the Park restaurant or somewhere close by... He did not mind to step out of the park for a bite... So we did that too...
Life is more enjoyable when you are dreaming with the greats...
Life is witching where the whole world is an stage and when you are the performer and the admirer too... Fairies will love you more... they will hug you more... kiss you more too...
The stage protected by the huge tree is indeed something to see...
The words have meaning and consequences ... and mystery too... A professor said; "Anyone who does not know Shakespeare, does not know English too..."
The natural amphitheater is a beautiful place to be... At the earlier times... the rising hill was natural... and we sat on whatever the nature offered... Now it is more domesticated... for the tender bums of the people... Reference to bums was Ross's way of displeasure... But still Shakespeare on the stage under that huge tree was magical...
Listening to Shakespeare... Sipping the wine... nibbling on cheese... and topping it all with a bite if bread was just what a summer evening has to be... Surrounded by good people and Ross was happy...
After the play, Ross had to visit the stage... Chat with the performers and smile under that magical tree... He was in no hurry... and once things settled down... The stage was left for him... and Rossie made his move and acted... sloppily... clownish... but always a smile on his face... He invited me to the stage, but I was more self- conscious than he was... He had absolutely no inhibitions... and he was a kid let loose in the park, on the stage...
Ross loved the space that he was in and time never bothered him... specially when he was having fun... Rossie was unpredictable on the stage...
We repeated the ritual twice each summer... and every time Ross came up with something new... and we had fun...
No one should be deprived of the magic of fairies in the park...
***
We had a last coffee outside the park... Ross always had something else in his coffee... "It will make me sleep better," he added... The kid had not settled down in Ross yet... It will take the train ride to home to calm his nerves and make his ready for the day to come...

And Other things...
The
scientists set the "Doomsday Clock" to 3 minutes to midnight...
Manhattan project scientists, concerned about the first atomic weapons, founded the nonprofit Bulletin in 1945...
Two years later, they created the clock and update its minute hand each year...
The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic countdown to the world's end, was set to three minutes until midnight... on Tuesday...
They cited as major concerns...
- Global climate change...
- Nuclear weapons proliferation...
- The various conflicts in the Middle East...
The world's most photogenic potato?
A photogenic potato, at least for renowned celebrity photographer Kevin Abosch. His "Potato #345" -- a simple portrait of an organic Irish spud, reportedly sold for €1 million ($1.08 million) last year to a European businessman, who saw it while dining at Abosch's Paris home.
The 46-year-old Irish visual artist -- who typically charges up to $500,000 for portraits of famous figures -- revealed earlier this month that the sale, brokered over a few glasses of wine, was the biggest of his career.

Czech president prompts outrage over PM gun "joke"... and this other guy wants to shoot someone on 5th Avenue... Check below...
| December 2015... President Milos Zeman - who is known for his outspokenness - admitted in an interview in December he wished he could sack Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka. January 25 2016... On Monday, at a public meeting, the president was asked how he would get rid of the prime minister, to which he replied: "The democratic option is one way, through free elections. The undemocratic option is a Kalashnikov." |
And on the other side of the Atlantic... "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump, a presidential candidate, boasts at a campaign rally...
And of course Czechs are civilized... and the U.S. is a model democracy...
