I attended this yesterday afternoon with coworkers (Thanks, Kat!):
The Grinch in English & Latin! The Bull's Head Bookshop's annual bi-lingual reading of the Dr. Suess classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas, performed in English by professor emeritus Tom Stumpf and in Latin by our very own George Morgan. Free cookies and hot chocolate for all!
Of course I had to show my spirit by bringing my grinch mug! The Latin reading almost put me to sleep, but the English reading, Stumpf had it down just right.
"How could it be so? [Christmas] came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes or bags! And then he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more."
