Good morning, all! DR Cillaliz, I, too, had a hard time getting to sleep last night. Earlier, around 6 pm, I couldn't keep my eyes open!
I did accomplish much yesterday, which was good: I finished the first draft of the BABES IN TOYLAND libretto notes, totally unassembled and in a very amorphous shape, but I can spend time over the holiday shaping it into something decent to show my colleagues. I feel as though it took me forever to get something on paper.
On the family front, my brother repaid my dad the money he owed him, and that's nice to know. Unfortunately, the needless angst and stress remain. I spoke to my dad yeterday, and he sonds okay. I'll be glad when I can get back t check on him.
The TOD: I believe the first Arabian Nights film I ever saw was "The Son of Ali Baba," and I loved it. Of course now, from a distance of 50 years, I have absolutely no memory of it. I also like:
The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
The Thief of Bagdad (Douglas Fairbanks, John Justin, Steve Reeves)
1001 Nights (Pasolini)
