The bard.

So today is the day that is generally acknowledged as Shakespeare's BIRTHday...although according to Wikipedia, it's actually the day of his death. He was baptized on the 26th-so historians generally estimate that he was born sometime around now.

Let's have one other gaudy night: call to me All my sad captains; fill our bowls once more; Let's mock the midnight bell.
-Antony and Cleopatra - Shakespeare

More rehearsal scheduled for tonight, plenty last night. Let's party.
