Season's End

Glosette Girl has just wrapped up the play she has been directing: The Merchant of Venice. She worked really hard, especially in the last few weeks when she was in rehearsals almost every night.

Scorsese and Kubrik ain't got nothing on you babe.

Margot and I both went to see the grande finale and I think Glosette Girl did a kick butt job. As the play unfolded and some of the (ahem) sexual jokes piled on, it dawned on me that Shakespeare can be a bit risqué play for kids. But Margot took it in stride and doesn't seem any worse for wear. I don't imagine too many kids got started down the wrong path by seeing a Shakespeare play!

So with the play over that means...no more Daddy-Daughter dates (Margot and I normally go while Glosette Girl is in rehearsals). Le sigh! Oh well, our "dates" were fun while they lasted. We will start hopefully them up again next September.

To make our last date extra special instead of our normal hang-out, Stella Luna, we opted for going to the Foolish Chicken, the only real kid-friendly restaurant in Hintonburg.*  

If you're in the area, check it out. It's like a slightly more upmarket Swiss Chalet. I like their fries but Margot, well she is all about their mean Shirley Temples!

Look at that smile! She knows I'm taking a photograph. Le sigh encore. Here is too hopefully a few more Daddy-daughter dates in the fall.

* There are other restaurants in the area but few that are expressly marketed as family-friendly, unlike in the suburbs where most restaurants are chain restaurants.
