Jane, has your brother read any of Barry Maitland's novels? I think they're quite good. A somewhat different take as mystery novels go.

Thank you for asking.  I did mention the books to him in October and he hadn't recalled reading any.  He was going to check it out.  I have no idea if he read any.

I had a lovely walk this afternoon but I forgot my mask and there were a lot of other people walking.  For the most part I was able to avoid them and feel comfortable walking outside without my mask.

Watched three Kenneth MacMillan ballets - one program, three ballets. I'll have more to say about that in the notes.

Back from Q, the Queen tribute band, not a musical version of QAnon.

It was mediocre at best, but we had a current-day sellout. That is with two empty seats between parties and every other row vacant.

For a Queen tribute band, it was odd that the encore consisted of two Led Zepplin songs and "Don't You Forget About Me," which was Tears for Fears, if I recall correctly.

Oh, and the lead singer used the occasion to propose to his girlfriend. It was sweet.

This calls for sour cream dark chocolate pound cake!
SOUR CREAM DARK CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE > Call Me PMc


At least there are no prunes stuffed with chicken salad and butterscotch.

That is very weird.  The encores, not the proposal.
