I met my friends Geoff and Mariko-san and two of their friends in seeing the movie "Anonymous" tonight.
It was excellent. I don't know much about the era, but I'd read a play that Geoff wrote on the same subject (the true identity and life of the Bard) a decade ago, and really enjoyed this movie. It was brilliantly made. I understand that the director usually makes mindless action films, incredibly.
I had a long cycle trip up to Yonge and Eglinton and then down to the Beaches that I can only describe as "bracing". It couldn't have been ten degrees Celsius.
