"... word is brought that the King and Duke are come, so they all went away to show themselves, while I staid and had a little dish or two by myself."

Classic comedy, this. One of the more light-hearted scenes in my path-breaking Pepys movie (160min). Everyone rushes out to see the King and the Duke, but Sam stays behind to have a double helping of fish. Not sure whether I want him to be slightly furtive and embarrassed about his greed, or smug and cheeky about beating the system. A good actor will know how to get it right without detailed instructions.

Bellevue / Seattle area friends: I’m super stoked for next week’s Spark Community Spring (Friday Mar 13th: spooky 👻).

If you’ve ever wanted to contribute to Apache Spark, come hang out and get your first Spark PR started with Felix Cheung, Huaxin Gao, Devin Petersohn, and myself :)

We’ll help folks find starter issues, get their dev environments set up, and walk through the contribution process.

There will be free lunch, and if enough people show up… maybe even Taco Bell for an afternoon snack*.
