I've got to tone up on Will

My personal trainer at the gym is always making fun of the fact that I have no concept of anatomy. This week he started grilling me on where various veins are, so I responded with a challenge on Shakespeare, forgetting that he's an actor too. So he started quoting the bard at random, at which point I realized that I have seriously been neglecting my Shakespeare. I love the tragedies and I've read my share of the comedies, but never any of the histories. So to make sure I'm prepared for next week, when I'm going to have to defend my honor as an English teacher to an actor with a chemistry degree, I'm reading plays like crazy. Today it's Richard III. Tomorrow, Henry V. I am not going to be bested in a Shakespeare-off by a man who spends his afternoon pondering how best to tone a set of abs, even if he is smarter than me in a general sense. Curse him and his good looks and his big brain.
