They told me I was speeding. I told them I was sorry and lost. They let me go,\u00a0pointing me thataway, admonishing me to\u00a0turn left before I wandered into Hungary.<\/p>\n<p>I thanked them profusely and did as I was told.<\/p>\n<p>Stumbling into\u00a0Timisoara several hours later than planned, I met my first Romanian friend, Vlad Arimia, and we had a lovely dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my long and confusing day I slept well that night and awoke the next morning unconcerned about the play. I thought it was stupid. Always have. The Sacramento Bee reviewer of its Stagedoor world premiere disparaged it as, &#8220;&#8230;an alcohol-fueled testosterone festival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She was right, of course.
