Poem for Wednesday and Mariners Play Ball

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more 
By William Shakespeare 

(from Much Ado About Nothing) 

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
    Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
    To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
    And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
    Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more
    Of dumps so dull and heavy.
The fraud of men was ever so
    Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
    And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
    Into hey, nonny, nonny.

I had a fairly typical Wednesday, meaning it was fun, starting with chat in the morning with Linda, Hildy, and Kay about our past week, followed by bagels and cream cheese with Paul. Then I did some chores before watching the first two episodes of Agatha All Along with Kristen and catching up with her on our past couple of weeks while she was moving and I had kids visiting. We took a walk in beautiful weather before dinner, and after, it was The Masked Singer (I thought Yorkie should have gone home, but it was Stud Muffin, who's actually a professional musician). 

Now we're watching the 1993 Much Ado About Nothing, which is Robert Sean Leonard and House's fault; I haven't seen it in well over a decade, and forgot how enjoyable most of the cast is, especially Michael Keaton. It was not a good day for the Orioles, but the Mariners made up for last night and beat the Tigers today. Here are a few more photos from last night at the ballpark, including the King Salmon and Mariner Moose, SuperSonics star Gary Payton (who threw out the first pitch), the Tigers at warm-up, and several of my favorite Mariners, including J.P. Crawford and Logan Gilbert:
