I am still working nearly full time at Stanford doing computer support. I walk to
and from the university campus when I can, a 2-mile trip.
My husband Eddie and I have had an active social
calendar. Here’s a brief recap of the trips we took:
January:
Return from a 2-week holiday visit in Fort Lauderdale, FL;
A getaway weekend in San Francisco;
February:
A week long LGBT
cruise around Cuba.
April:
Another getaway weekend in San Francisco.
May:
Long weekend in Dallas, TX visiting friends;
Eddie travels to Nashville & Paris, TN for a
wedding;
Ed spends the weekend in Santa Cruz, CA with 2
of his kids.
June:
Pride weekend in San Francisco.
August:
European
vacation. Week in Rome, Atlantis Mediterranean cruise: Naples, Crete,
Mykonos, Santorini, Bodrum, and Ephesus, 3-days in Istanbul and 4-days in
London.
October:
long weekend in Sacramento, CA with a visiting friend.
November:
Thanksgiving week at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast in Mendocino, CA.
December:
back to Fort Lauderdale, FL for a 2-week holiday.
While we usually see 80 to 100 shows a year, this has been a record for us. For 131 of the shows, Eddie has written a full review which he posted on Theatre Eddys. Of those 144, we rated 53 as “5 E” (our top rating), representing 21 different theatre companies. This year, the most “5 E” ratings went to American Conservatory Theatre and TheatreWorks (5 each), followed closely by San Francisco Playhouse and Berkeley Repertory Company (4 each).
Choosing “Top Lists of the Year” is made
complicated by so many outstanding productions in a region blessed with so many
phenomenal companies of all sizes (over 300 stages in the SF Bay Area). Skip over to Theatre
Eddys for a take on the best of the best for 2015.
