I have nothing to report, just the usual laundry, bills, grocery shopping. Tomorrow tax prep. Such excitement. sigh.

Tax prep. Colonoscopy prep. They’re more alike than anyone cares to admit.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Anyone with pollen allergies probably shouldn't watch this less than 10-second video clip:

Ain’t no birthday like an HHW birthday! I want to thank you all so much, not just for your individual birthday wishes, but for welcoming me back on here so sweetly. Truly the best little corner of the internet.

Last full day here in the South Pacific, where there is nothing like a dame. My dame got us a little 2-hour boat tour, and the guide lightly pressured me to go ahead and swim with sharks and rays, and I’m glad I did because now I can say I did that, and the kids were impressed, and I got a high five from a stingray.

Then we sat and watched sharks swim around the boat while the guide played ukulele and sang to us. Memorable!

So, will everything fall apart tomorrow? Will there be another attempt at revolution to go along with charges against dRumpf?

It was Antonio Vivaldi's last opera.

It turns out that only Acts II and III survive, but I don't know if this production is only Acts II and III, or if someone wrote an Act I.

Anyway, what's interesting (to me, at least) is that the performers have microphones.

I'm going to assume that it's for the recording of the opera, not for amplification of the performance.

What's cool about OperaVision is that they stream their operas for six months.

So, according to this article, the OperaVision video is only acts II and III:

But according to this article:

https://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Antonio-Vivaldi-Catone-in-Utica/100395

Only one aria of Act I can be definitely recovered from a surviving opera, but the rest has now also been successfully reconstructed by Alessandro Ciccolini, whose intimate knowledge of Vivaldi’s working methods, combined with brilliant stylistic insight won universal acclaim for his work on Vivaldi’s Motezuma and Ercole sul Termodoonte. Ciccolini has also composed cadenzas and da capo variations for all the arias, published here in an appendix.
