2023 Mileage: 3608.5
Recently, I was reading a book in which the author assumed an acquaintance on the reader's part with Hamlet by Shakespeare. I quickly realized that I have never either read the play nor seen a performance of this peak achievement of western culture. Deciding to rectify this shortcoming, I researched this morning and found that there are several movie adaptations of it. I chose the unabridged 1996 version directed by Kenneth Branagh (who also stars as Hamlet) to watch during my ride today.
Even though it is a very hefty performance, running just over 4 hours, I was going to try to do the whole thing. However, as I went along, I confess that I found it such heavy going to wade through the Shakespearean English from around 1600, that I cut back and just watched the first half of it, and hope to finish up tomorrow.

This gave me a ride of 24.1 virtual miles in 2:00.
