DR Matthew, perfect. Let me know what you think. I hadn't realized Rosso was Martini and Rosso.

Crazy little day. Listening to stuff for project one and making corrections, Zooming, telephonic conversations, two trips to the mail place, and am finally listening to music other than mine own. An opera by Berthold Goldschmidt - not quite as good as the other opera I've heard, this one's a little more "modern" but it's very good and is, of course, part of the Decca Entartete series.

Most definitely sweeter.

Should that be, "Be careful in there"?

Started listening to an interesting book called Thirty Names of Night. I fear it's going to be depressing, but I'm about 20% into it and am liking it so far. Don't know that I've encountered any Muslim trans novels before.

But I want to get back to Greenwillow. I'd like to finish that before midnight tomorrow.

Fell asleep for forty minutes whilst checking out a video of the Nicholas Hytner production of Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen, which looks and sounds terrific and the ten minutes I saw before nodding off was just delightful and the polar opposite of that disgusting Eurotrash version I endured an hour of.

Now listening to a fun and interesting Weill ballet pantomime called Zaubernacht, written when he was twenty - it had been reconstructed from a piano reduction in the 1990s for a recording, but several pages from the piano reduction were missing so the reconstructionist did his best and the recording was made and got good reviews. Then, as fate would have it, Weill's original orchestrations were found in a safe at Yale, where they'd been sitting for decades because some curator died before cataloguing it. This recording is of Weill's version. It's very interesting, scored for eight or nine instruments and you can hear his musical voice starting to emerge but not quite formed yet. He used some of the music in a piece called Quodlibet but this is the only recording of this full version.

Thinking about a Ralph's trip later for some water, but I'm not sure if I'll do it or not. If I don't go tonight or tomorrow, I will run out of waters.

I haven't had a proper drink since August. This sounds like a great idea, if only I had purchased something at Fred Meyer today.

I just finished my last book of the year. I will begin "The Best of Me" tonight and either finish it in 2021 or stop reading it.

I think so. I don't like sweet drinks as a rule, but this was pretty good

Do you think Ryan Seacrest realizes that he isn’t Dick Clark?
