Topped Dahlias

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

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.

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.
