How could I not honor Coconut on National Dog Day?
"Every man thinks that his dog is the best, and none of 'em are wrong."

Spent most of yesterday rafting through the beautiful countryside along the Krumlov River with the PSC faculty - Shakespeare experts from all over the world: across, directors, dramatics, voice and dialect coaches, fight and intimacy coaches - quite a fascinating group. Then another terrific Czech meal - potato soup, pheasant, rabbit, dumplings, millet cakes, and cabbage (which I can't make myself do, no matter how hard I try!) Today we had back to Prague and back to rehearsing!
