I'm taking it very easy today. Got a lot of movies to watch, naps to take, books to read.

I got to disc 32 of 34 in Don Quixote, and it expired. The library won't let me renew it. There's a reservation on it. I have a copy of the book, but the translation is different. Will try to finish reading it, but it all seems so strange.

The laundry is put away. That's a big relief.

Saturday morning greetings!  Today I have some art supply shopping to do in preparation for StampawayUSA in 2 weeks.  Also have to check in on Mom.  Her nurse called last night about another fall she took getting from her wheelchair to her couch.

Britten's version of The Beggar's Opera is still my favorite version of this difficult comedy.  I was very proud of my 1979 production, assisted by our DR Ginny.

Here are two production shots.

Loved helping with that show!  I got very sick with bronchitis, though, and missed a lot of rehearsals - sorry, DR Elmore...

I do not remember your absence at all. 

Keep an eye out for any info on that Labor Day Carmon DeLeone concert. I Still want to get back to Ohio for it.

Ralph Fiennes is pretending to speak Russian in this Two Women movie. And he's been dubbed, not very well.

I'll stick with with the guy who's already written it, albeit on a slightly different level in the Pina Colada Song.

Elmore, loved the photos. Very Hogarth-like.

And I'm back from seeing "Dunkirk" in IMAX.  WOW!  It was almost like watching a documentary.  The visuals were abolutely stunning and so realistic.  The dialogue was very spare and almost incidental.  There really wasn't a story.  It was just about this one incident during World War II...fictionalized, of course.  But very well done.

I now know more than I did watching the previews, thanks.  I am looking forward to seeing this.

The laundry is in the washers. It's been so long since I've been to the basement, it's like another country.

I just realized: we have two recently empty apartments, one was rented by an elderly man now in a nursing home and one by a young lady who moved elsewhere.  The landlord cannot rent these apartments while the elevator is not working.

No wonder they are getting it fixed.

That's two heads-ups I've had on this on two sites in the past five minutes, so I guess the universe wants me to see it!  I am very fortunate to have one of the original 70mm IMAXes not too far from me here in Norwalk, CT, and I'll be getting down there to see it soon.
