Feelin' groovy

Such a day. Two walks for my mother, who felt very peppy today. Perfect, high 70's, cool breezes. Got in a bit of a boulder/climbing workout, then got out of there before the rush.
Last night's session with Don Quixote offered up the Knight Errant's astounding attack on the puppet show, operated by one of the prisoners sentenced to be galley slaves whom Don Q. had deludedly liberated in Part 1. It's an amazing and horrifyingly funny scenario, with this dried up old fellow leaping upon the puppet stage, sword in hand, snicker-snacking the puppets to shreds in defense of the beautiful lady puppet and her paramour trying to outrun a pack of Moorish puppets... Sounds like a demented send-up of a Muppet show by The Kids in the Hall. I say old Don Q., but in fact, Cervantes described him as being a "graybeard" of about 50 years of age.
Once again into the breach with the Knight and his Squire.
