Today, the family is going to my mom's for our quasi-weekly family meal.  I think my mom said that we'd have tacos, but we had tacos last time.  That's fine with me, but we'll see.

Have a good day, all!

This morning I slept all the way until almost 6:00AM, which is almost unheard of (because I go to bed so early). But I'm thankful.

My grocery delivery yesterday was completed with little fuss, and no substitutions.

And less than two hours from when I had placed the online order.  So, satisfactory all the way around.

I became kind of obsessed with Benjamin Britten's War Requiem after first hearing a live performance in college. I then bought the vocal score, and then the full score, and then started buying recordings every time a new one was released.  I still think the composer's own recording, and the first one, is the best.  It has been re-mastered and released with rehearsal clips, as well. Which, supposedly, Britten was adamantly against releasing.

I gave myself an extra 40 minutes of sleep, which I enjoyed immensely, and the cats didn't object at all.  I guess as long as they've got something else to obsess over, like destroying a window blind or tossing litter all over the bathroom, they don't care to pester me.

BK's comments on The Father, which I would like to see, got me wondering: whatever happened to Anthony Hopkins' production of King Lear?

I have no plans today beyond Oh, Boy! I'm almost through Season 8 of my Midsomer Murders marathon.  Only ten more seasons to go. So far my favorite of all the episodes remains Season Seven's "The Ghosts of Christmas Past," which has humor, a creepy old manor house, a thoroughly rotten villain, several killings and two suicides, and a tinge of sadness. 

I also think Jim Parker's music for the episodes is brilliant and adds to the success of the series.  He has several themes he uses over and over in different arrangements, which I really like, and his orchestration seems to be for the most part two reeds (mostly really good clarinet and bassoon players), piano, and strings.  For "The Ghosts of Christmas Past," he has a good time playing with traditional Christmas carols.

Had a pretty solid sleep. Mikey went bonkers early this morning, knocking things off my desk and exploring other areas of potential mischief. But I knew I hadn't left anything lying around that could be hurt so I ignored it and he went off to terrorize the housemates. They fed him at the appointed time and I was able to sleep in just a little bit.

Last night, I was in the mood to see a Clint Eastwood movie.

We watched TRUE CRIME (1999).

Still a good movie.

I always enjoy DECEPTION.....

Bette's piano story from yesterday reminded me of a story that Oscar Levant wrote about in his autobiography.

During the filming of HUMORESQUE he was playing on a dummy piano while Pearl Kaufman played a piano near the set - John Garfield had one man's arm in his jacket sleeve fingering the violin and another man's arm in the other jacket sleeve doing the bowing while Garfield held the violin under his chin.

They finished the take and Levant said:  "Jesus Christ!  The five of us are great - we should go on tour!"
