Well, if I didn't hate this effing pandemic enough already, after watching restaurant after restaurant shut their doors forever, just got the news that on October 30 Jerry's Deli will close forever. I HATE our Governor and our mayor. If you're gonna shut down everything for eight MONTHS then you damn well better figure out how to help businesses. This is on their heads and they don't care, they simply don't care.

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.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.

All this talk of dentists reminds me I have a dentist appointment tomorrow.
What makes the DVD of The Met’s GHOSTS worth $180.00. It isn’t even the original cast.
Tonight my book group discussed the Alex Trebek memoir. I didn't suffer reading it or discussing it. Unexcited about both, yes.
