Just broke my favorite coffee mug, burned my foot with the hot coffee that was in it and made a mess everywhere. Welcome to Monday.
Whoa. That's a great list, DR Elmore.Did you see the HBO adaptation of Mildred Pierce several years ago? They followed the book and I remember really liking it. I need to see it again.

In the contemporary music department, we have John Adams's Nixon in China on Thursday, John Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles on Saturday, and Philip Glass's Satyagraha on Sunday. I'm a little 'eh' on the Adams and Glass, but I have to say that those delightful Ghosts are not to be missed.I love Nixon in China. But Ghosts is better.

But Ghosts is better.I'd probably like it if I ever sat down and really watched it. I'm afraid I've only seen little segments of it, which isn't giving it (or me) a chance at all.
Nice! I assume the door opens the correct way! That could be a problem if it didn't!
DR Matthew, I hope Ben's eye problem will prove to be nothing.

That first aria of Figaro's is really brilliant. I would love to have the DVD of the Met broadcast. I had it on VHS.
I fell sleep very early so now I’m awake
Earring finding vibes for Janes
DR George, about the refrigerator door: on Wednesday, when the service man called Crane Cooling, I distinctly heard him tell the man on the other end that the door was hinged on the LEFT. When it arrived on Saturday, it was still packed and hinged on the RIGHT. The installers, who were really quite wonderful, were not happy that they had to fetch their toolkits to redo the door.
I passed my dental exam today. The guy in the waiting room told me he was having FOUR teeth pulled today. The sounds coming from the next room weren't pleasant.
Jane, you said you didn’t much care for Beach Read. I’m an hour in and am rather irritated. I can easily move on to something else or listen to the last 90 minutes or so. Suggestions? Anyone else read it?
