Today was a day of freedom. The cards were mailed last night!!!! When Libbie came home at 2 we went to Home Depot and used my 10% off coupon to order stainless steel hood and cooktop. We brought the hood home but have to get the cooktop delivered. We'll get it the Tuesday after we get back from St Simon island. I started working on our taxes. It's not looking so good this year. We may have to pay money. We left at 6 after a crab cake dinner for Memorial hall in Chapel Hill. We saw a performance of the Nederlands Dance Co which was spectacular. The first piece was called Looking back and started with a doll then a girl talking about herself when she was little. The company then moved into the gray humdrum of everyday life before breaking out in a male - female pas de deux. Just before that there was the innocent flirting of youth. When the piece ended the doll was replaced by a semi nude female dancer in a see through flesh leotard. Spectacular!!!! The second piece after the intermission was a phillip glass music composition whihc fit very well with the movement. They used a video screen with a man walking away in the surf while 2 dancer s stayed behind and went through a lot of emotional dance. The piece and movie screen moved through the woods, through being a little girl, then a man going past a window before opening into the firmanent. This all played in reverse as once again the dancers went through many emotions. All in all it was a superb performance by 30 dancers. I want to see them again. It was raining when we exited and had to do the 10 minute walk to Cobb parking garage. It was a slow wet ride home trying to see the road. Had to stop for a little gas in chapel Hill to be safe.
