RELAXING WITH MAHLER
« on: July 19, 2020, 12:39:18 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were relaxing and had Mahler, and now it is time for you to post until the Mahleresque cows come home.

Wow!  That's a fantastic cast, BK!  Can't wait for the next Kritzerland show!  I'm REALLY glad that this one is still going to be online!

I will say that Bruno Walter's Mahler 1 is one of the greatest recordings I've ever heard.  The clarity is astounding.

I'm off to bed.  No plans for today, but some TV watching and some laundry.

Have a good day, all!

Last night was the longest night in the history of time.  At one point I awoke, thinking I had been asleep for decades.  When I checked the clock, it was only a few minutes past midnight.  Faithful Annabelle stayed by me all night.

I had this long, rambling dream about Babes In Toyland, the Library of Congress, the alcoholic librarian who contributed to the screw-up of the Life Begins At 8:40 recording, other LoC librarians I haven't seen in some time, a researcher looking into possible recordings Victor Herbert might have made of the Babes In Toyland score, and scheduling an orchestra reading of the score.

This morning the cats were extremely frisky before and after their breakfast.  Now they're all lying about in a semi-comatose state.

I have a few tasks today: replace the filter in the air purifier, take recyclables to the basement, and make a cauldron of chili.

When I saw Dr. Re last Wednesday morning, he once again reminded me of two things: these injections can be a diminishing return as the arthritis takes over and that I won't feel the effects until 2-3 days after the injection.  It's now four days, and I feel they're doing nothing.  I can't say I'm very happy at the moment about the state of my health. but I really do not want to go back to surgery for a hip-knee replacement at the moment.  I would just like to get to January before I consider doing it.

The recyclables are in the basement, and kitty cleanup is over.  Yesterday morning, due to God knows what distraction, I completely assembled the litter box incorrectly - after three years! - and I had a mess on my hands this morning.  All is now good.  I do need to head into the bathroom with the dustbuster ASAP.

I got three Netflix DVDs yesterday, and I think I may watch Ron Howard's film on Pavarotti when my chores are over.

I placed an order with Fairway for groceries just a little past 7:30 this morning, and asked for a delivery in the next five hours.  It arrived just before 9:00.  Speedy!

One of my favorite pieces of music. Will look for this recording.

I see Trump's Master Race had a march in Pennsylvania yesterday.  I hope everyone of these asses is identified and they lose their jobs.
