I watch all sorts of plays on my days off.

Which…is not to say that I only do that on my days off. Er.

Oh, I know! I walk my dog a lot more than normal.

See, here she is. Really cute, isn't she? This is Ophelia, my golden retriever!

And her name? Well, it's from a character in the play Hamlet.

I walk down the beach near my house with her. Now, Ophelia really loves sticks, so she always finds one she likes on the shore and carries it in her mouth.

If it's nice and sunny out, I'll bring a book I'm working on and read on the beach.

It's hard to describe, but the sound of the waves helps me focus a lot. So I'll often memorize scripts and longer lyrics there.

I always stay a little bit too long. The sea breeze makes my hair go all over the place, too.

Which is why I work hard to maintain my hair on days off, too.

The beach is such a nice place. How about hanging out with Ophelia and me?
