DR JRand70, you might enjoy this performance of George Balanchine's cowboy ballet, "Western Symphony."  I love Hershy Kay's arrangment and orchestration.

I know you like Tchaikovsky.  Didn't you already listen to his opera The Queen of Spades?  It's wonderful, but not as scary as the 1949 film with Edith Evans.

That newbie senator, dumbass Trumper Josh Hawley, has lamented via Twitter that his book deal with Simon & Schuster has been cancelled because of his support for the terrorists.  How dare they do that to him?

The twitter replies have not been kind.

Good!  He has absolutely no sympathy from me!

Well, I'm back to Facebook jail for saying I didn't want Trump impeached; I wanted him executed for treason and sedition.  I hate these Facebook assholes.

Larry, I think of that as "good trouble." ;)

DR ELMORE I think some of those patterns in the first part of the ballet and and during the last part may just find themselves in my "One More Angel In Heaven" song during JOSEPH this summer.

Of course I won't have any guys who can do a cabriole - but then again one never knows.

Mine, too.  Here are excerpts from his "Union Jack."  Have you ever seen his creepy "La Valse" with Death and the Maiden?

I had an uneventful day going to acupuncture, picking up some take-out at Julie's, and then taking care of some personal business and reading the news. Boring can be a good thing.

Jane, have you read any Rosamund Pilcher? I find her books very comforting. Her characters go through difficult times, but things generally work out. There's a warm to her books. I highly recommend both COMING HOME and WINTER SOLSTICE.

I can understand both Twitter and Facebook being reluctant to curb free speech, but this was clearly needed, IMO. Overdue, in fact. But I understand the reluctance.

DR George, ChocZero is making white chocolate squares again. I think they're different from the previous ones, so you may like them. And I may not. Don't know if they're available on Amazon.
