Yesterday Kristen, Linda (Kristen's mother), and I went to an enormous international grocery store in Hamilton. There, we finally found a suitable teapot, which Linda was gracious enough to purchase for us, as well as a few othertreats. Are you reading this, Helen? If I recall, Helen doesn't like digestives very much. And, Kristen finally convinced me that Yorkies are offensive. But I bought one anyway, for old time's sake.
Our next adventure of the afternoon, we were off to Cincinnati (pronounced sin-sin-at-ee or just "Ya lot o' pigs!") for a bit of cultural enrichment. We wanted to increase our repertoire, refine our urbanity, and familiarise ourselves with the Bard. However, as Americans are wont to do, we looked for the Shakespeare Drivethru. So we saw that the complete works of Shakespeare, abridged, were being performed in a matter of two hours. We went for it!
Ooops. The best part was Othello .

Not to be picky, but as a citizen of Hamilton (God, forgive me please) I have to state with utmost certainty that H-town is not refined enough to host an international market. It's actually in Fairfield.
Next time you head this way, let us know. You can entertain the kids again :) Zoe still talks about that REALLY TALL guy from my school that she met once. Kids, gotta love 'em.

However, Jungle Jims!!! Wow - it's been a loooooonng time! You can find everything there!

Now, I did see the Shakespeare Abridged. It was a hoot.
Posted by: Ma at August 14, 2006 1:36 PMSheakespear is best seen abridged and better read. Yorkies are dogs I think....and they are yappers-sigh!
International anything in rural Ohio is a hoot to think about. Cinncinnati is home to flying pigs?...nuff said about cultural bardisms. Good thing I'm not prejudiced......
Yes, I'm reading. I have a field full of youth using my bathroom, and am in the middle of a project which involves them putting together a wood cabin on the allotments at the end of the lane, but I'm still reading this.
I own three tea pots, all in varying sizes, to be used as occasion demands, and a tea strainer because loose tea does taste better. Rich tea beats digestive in my mind.
Every time I got past a kinder surprise now i have an urge to buy some and send them to you.
