I did notice the parents didn't have any doggie bags with them on the way home from their walks......

Well my sister and I went out onto the dreaded back store room.....and we located my First Family LP, my Absurd Imposters LP, a Bob Newhart LP, my Allan Sherman My Son, The Folk Singer LP (now I don't have to burn the downloads to disc)....and about a dozen other comedy albums.....

So we should have plenty of laughs on Sunday.

Hmmm, I didn't think about that. I hope they found cans along the way to use.

That's pretty cool, Jrand!

Well, it's time for me to leave work and head to my parents' house.

Be back later.

Slept a bit while trying to watch stuff - maybe an hour.

I am jealous

Had the chicken Caesar - very good. Having a few peanuts and that will be it for the foodstuffs - should be right at 1000 calories.

Do you know what I'd never heard? Verdi's Messa da Requiem, a very famous piece or so I'm told. I didn't think I was a Verdi fan but this piece is seriously beautiful and Barbirolli and his singers do it up brown. One wishes the band were a bit more present, but I liked it enough to want to get the Ormandy version, which is supposed to be incredible.

Now playing, something called Dido and Aeneas by someone named Purcell - we'll see if I like it. It's baroque I guess and I do like baroque. Then comes the Barbirolli Madame Butterfly with Renata Scotto - that's supposed to be a great recording.

It's really hot.

bk · « **Reply #74 on:** August 28, 2020, 06:57:41 PM »

Not outside - outside it's not crazy hot - just in the house.

No important envelope today - hopefully tomorrow so I don't have to write an email.

Toscanini owned it. But any of the great conductors — I’m thinking along the lines of Reiner, Leinsdorf, Munch, but I can’t remember if any of them recorded it. Seems like one of them had it in the RCA Soria Series. Oh, that was Reiner. But yes, Ormandy.

I must have the Toscanini in the big box, which I never got through. I'll go hunt that down. But I know Ormandy will be great and sound great in that Columbia stereo.

I'm actually enjoying the Purcell - but I generally go for baroque.

What is this page three malarkey?

I may take a walk in a little while.

Hello, everyone.

Jane, in case you didn't see the PM I sent you, thanks for the link to Singdaw's blog.

TOD:

I've been watching THE BRIEF, a British TV series starring Alan Davies. It's quite good. I'm sorry there are only two seasons.

Jeanne · « **Reply #85 on:** August 28, 2020, 07:52:31 PM »

I went to acupuncture today, then stopped for Italian take-out. The restaurant was quite busy, the busiest I've seen in since Covid started. Of course, dining outside only. That may change soon.

I booked a haircut. My hairdresser said that most hairdressers aren't waiting for the governor's new guidelines, they are working anyway. I think people are restless, but the last time we reopened cases shot up. Personally, I still wish to distance and wear a mask.

Jeanne · « **Reply #87 on:** August 28, 2020, 07:55:38 PM »

Back to THE BRIEF.

TTFN.
