Today’s title brought to you by Bardolatry’s Department of Redundancy Department! This is a companion post to the longer (yes, longer) post on our entire week in Indianapolis.

Sub-title: Also, it snowed.
Sub-sub-title: Also, we had these Shakespeare plays we did.
Dayton, Ohio, February 21-22:
On the American Shakespeare Center On Tour Weather Map, we can see the vans moving up here while this front of snowy misery moves down from the artic north like the Assyrian coming down like a wolf on the fold and [...]

Huntsville, Alabama, February 14-16:
One of the problems with God’s Geographical Reminder That Life is Not Fair (otherwise known as Florida) is the question of why bad weather happens to good people. We drove into a cold front as we moved west, so that when we emerged from the vans in Huntsville, Alabama, the temperature hovered [...]

Augusta, Georgia, February 12:
Travelling one state northwards into weather more reminiscent of April than June, we settled in Augusta to give a performance of Taming of the Shrew in a gorgeous theatre that we all agreed we would like to pack into the cargo van and take with us. (Of course, this would require a [...]

Alternate Title: Death and Rebirth in Islamorada
Islamorada, Florida, February 8-9:
Words cannot express how fantastic, and how surreal, it was to be in the Florida Keys.
And so this concludes this particular blog post.
Ha ha! If I fooled you, you must have never seen the average length of my posts. Perhaps you stumbled onto this blog by [...]

Sarasota, Florida, February 5-6:
Florida appears to me to be God’s geographical reminder that life is not fair. I had never been to Florida in the winter, and, being thus unprepared for the surprise of how warm it actually was, my first thought, as I stepped out of the van, was: “This is not FAIR.” It [...]

New Martinsville, West Virginia, February 1-3:
Situated on the Ohio river and consequently nestled to the extreme north of West Virginia’s borders, New Martinsville lays claim to a number of titles in regards to this blog.
One of them is ‘New Martinsville: Town of the Twin Buffets,’ because the non-chain restaurants that I found were a surprisingly [...]

Buckhannon, West Virginia, January 29:
Luckily, we had another performance of Merchant of Venice in Buckhannon. The theater was beautiful; it reminded me a little of the theater in which I did Romeo and Juliet in college, only with a larger stage, a smaller house, and more humane acoustics. So the similarities were basically age, and [...]

The above poster is from our week-long engagement at Fairmont, and is my favourite version of the many posters strewn about the campus. You know you’ve hit the big time when people put frowny stickers on your forehead. It’s even better than the drawn-on moustache or glasses, which only require a pen. I got a whole sticker!
