Topped them all. Hopefully, that will make it easier to keep them under control. Also removed all lower leaves. And tied them.

Steely Dan
Went to see Steely Dan at Wolf Trap. Remarkable band, so precise. Really good, Donald Fagan still has it. Worth the $.

Studio Theatre
Went to see Hot Wing King at the Studio Theatre. Sat in the very front row, just feet from the performers. A different experience, up close and personal. Good show, but certainly nothing special.
Ate at an Ethiopian restaurant, Lalibela. Nothing remarkable, to say the least, but ok. Very cheap, $60 for four people.
Went to see Laurie Anderson Performance
Went down to see the Laurie Anderson Drone’s – a tribute to Lou Reed – show at the Hirshorn. Very cool to be able to see her up close.



Hazel Dickens is a way underappreciated artist. Good book.
Layla and Majnun

A Persian prose poem was written by Nizami Ganjavi in the 12th century. Lord Byron called it, appropriately, the Romeo and Juliet of the East.
Really beautiful.
