One week turned to two weeks&#8230;and then that turned to three. And even now, I&#8217;m finishing this up (I hope) on Monday and backdating it to Sunday. It&#8217;s been that kind of a month.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first weekend of the month was a busy one for us, which is why I ended up not getting around to my usual wrap-up.\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udd7a\ud83c\udffb Saturday, I went out to the Mercury for this month&#8217;s Caturday and got to introduce a couple friends from work to the club.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\ud83c\udfad Sunday we went to see Seattle Shakespeare&#8217;s production of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unionartscenter.org\/a-midsummer-nights-dream\/\"><cite>A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream<\/cite><\/a>. As with their production of <cite>Shrew<\/cite> a few months ago, it was <em>excellent<\/em>. They really leaned into the comedy, and while I&#8217;ve often laughed at the comedy in Shakespeare&#8217;s plays, this was the funniest production I&#8217;ve seen. Plus, they made some neat tweaks, swapping many of Oberon and Titania&#8217;s lines, so that it was Oberon who is bewitched and falls in love with Bottom.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\ud83d\ude80 The next weekend was the final planning meeting before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/\">Norwescon<\/a>. Just the final bits and pieces to put into place! I&#8217;m mostly ready, with only a few small tasks to finish preparing for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/con\/schedule\/#SED2\">Thursday night dance<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/con\/schedule\/#SEPKD02\">Philip K. Dick award ceremony<\/a>, and my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/con\/schedule\/#EPL02\">accessibility presentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\ud83c\udfb6 And then this last weekend, we went out to see a friend&#8217;s choir concert with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwassociatedarts.org\/choralsounds\/\">Choral Sounds Northwest<\/a>. Something every weekend! And that&#8217;s just going to continue for a bit&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>&#x1f4f8; Photos<\/h2>\n<p><figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Friday-the-13th-Snowstorm-010.jpg\" alt=\"Pellets of slush and ice lie on the ground in a close-up, nearly monochrome shot, looking like a rough landscape.\" title=\"Friday the 13th Snowstorm - 010.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption>The Seattle area had an unusual late-winter\/early-spring snowstorm.
