Ph. is two days into a Shakespeare Camp at Thornden Park this week. He and
\nabout ten others are working up costumes, practicing for a dance gig, and gearing
\nup to perform it at Thursday’s 5:30 p.m. opening of The Taming of the Shrew<\/i>
\nat the amphitheater. They’re not shouldering the full play, exactly, just the
\ndance routine on opening night. And then on Friday, in a small showing for
\nfamilies and friends of the actors and campers, campers will perform Act 1,
\nScene 4: Petruchio’s Country House. Ph. is Petruchio, which means 70-some lines,
\n
\nmany of which <\/a>are used up with badgering servants and fawning over Kate.
\nCome out Thursday if you’re in Syracuse. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we’re also steaming into soccer season. He had the final
\nfull-length summer match last night, a 1-1 draw vs. West Genesee. Tomorrow night
\nis the summer league finale. To cap the season they play a shortened match
\nagainst the team from the other division ranked in the same position as them.
\nSecond? Third? Doesn’t matter much. After that, full soccer workouts start
\nAugust 21. I took Y. over to the high school fields this morning for twenty
\nminutes of tennis ball toss while Ph. timed himself in the mile on the cinder
\ntrack (must be under six minutes to clear for fall soccer practice). From there
\nwe walked over to the tennis courts for game of soccer-tennis (Socnis? Tencer?),
\nwhich was surprisingly close and entertaining. It’s just like tennis, only no
\nhands. No rackets. No tennis balls. But the scoring, rotations and tie-break
\nschemes are all the same. And we play two-bounce on each possession, so you can
\nsettle the ball before sending it back. Just like conventional tennis, minus the
\ntennis elbow: you can play as hard as you want to play, rest for a game, and so
\non. But it’s a decent hour of exercise (we played just one set).<\/p>\n

Ah, and somebody brought by a dinner spread complete with strawberry-rhubarb
\npie for Is.’s one-week fiesta (er…siesta). She had a first visit to the
\npediatrician yesterday, managed to pack on five ounces in three days. Not bad
\nconsidering an ounce per day is standard for the ones who reach full term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
