It's supposed to be a rainy day today. We got going to Falstaff today at noon. We allowed a little more time so we wouldn't get stuck in Christmas shopping traffic. Took Tryon and had no problems getting to the theater. Traffic was heavy but we navigated it well and got to the theater a half hour early. The performance was wonderful, it was played campy. Falstaff is huge, the other two ladies are no dainty ones either. It's the 1,000 pound cast with all three of them. Totally enjoyable and wonderful performance. When we got out it was pouring big time. We made a run for the car. On the way home we decided we were not going to stop for groceries for dinner. We did a Chinese takeout consisting of rice, 3 meat Szechuan and egg rolls accompanied by a bottle of Shiraz. Very nice. My maglite came today. It's an incredibly nice flashlight. I'm going to hang it in my closet. I bought the hanging hooks with it also. I could probably have done just as well from Amazon.
