I am going to try and sleep as I have to be up early tomorrow.
'night
I may have had a stroke last night. Around 2:00 I was wide awake after sleeping solidly for nearly five hours. So I reached for ther alarm, to check the time and I felt like I was suddenly punched in my left eye. The pain was quite intense. And then it happened again. I don't know if something blew in my brain, if it's glaucoma, if I'm a hypochondriac. This is maybe the third time this has happened in the past year, only it was just one hit in the previous occurrences.
I think I prefer Steuart Bedford's recording, which has a really fine cast including my friend Stuart Kale.Then, for Queen Elizabeth's coronation, we get Billy Budd. It was not a success, Britten later revised it, and it took off. These days, because of the homoerotic subtext and the continual references to Billy's beauty, it's become the opera for handsome buff baritones to show off their buff bodies. I think Britten's recording of the revised version still takes the cake.
The Dancing Noses reminded me of the Dancing Dildoes.....only not quite as funny.
Uh oh......Pressidint Bidun has made his first mistake with me....his press conference is pre-empting Judge Judy.

Hi, Tom.
Tom, today I mailed a package for you. You should receive it in a couple of days.
