Carol of our now-defunct Shakespeare reading group reminded me that it was Shakespeare's birthday Wednesday, and I see in yesterday's paper that to celebrate the Bard's 450tth birthday Hamlet will be taken around the globe (after being performed at the Globe Theatre) or as they put it "to every country on earth." This brings up the question of just how many countries there are on earth. The United Nations has 193 member states, and the London Olympics has 204 teams.
Also in the news is Georgia, where I have family and friends I love. The governor, whose name really is Nathan Deal and who has an A-rating with the National Rifle Association, has just signed the popularly-called "Guns Everywhere" bill so Georgians so inclined will be able to tote their guns to school and to church and of course to bars. I hope those I love will be safe from those inclined!
