I think that's all I have to say today.

All of a sudden, like, within the past week or two, I've learned of one person I know, and three or four other people who are close to people I know, or who are otherwise "known" to me in some way, who have tested positive with Covid.

None of these cases threatens this household in any way, but I can't deny that the difference from all these past months is sobering.

I was sobered enough, didn't need this extra concern.

The Oh, Boy! materials arrived in an email this afternoon along with a payment. Not a bad day at all.


That is super news, DR elmore3003!

I, too, personally know at least 5 people that have now tested positive in the past few weeks. None of them have needed to go to the hospital, thankfully, as hospital beds are in short supply.

I have not closely interacted with anyone other than grocery store and/or pharmacy clerks for many months.

It was a socially distanced production. The dancers all wore masks.

The choreography was safe. The dancing was so-so. Yet it felt good to see a live production. And the audience was highly appreciative.

I have been listening to some fine British actors read Shakespeare's sonnets, all of them. I'm up to 129. Only a few more to go.

Here's a pic (not mine, but I should have a few of my own somewhere) of John Angevine of Angevine Farms, and the Robert Morton 3-manual pipe organ that sits in the "Christmas Barn".

Those items in the background are piano rolls.

If he's playing when we're there, I will grab some audio or video.


He almost looks like a little girl in that photo.

bk, Masaaki Suzuki and his Bach Collegium Japan just won Gramophone's Choral Recording of the Year award for their rendition of the Bach St. Matthew Passion.


That’s strange.  I have the porno version.
