John G is so close to the 92,000 millstone. 

It might even happen today.  Only eight posts away.

I liked the kind of O. Henry twist at the end of The Scar.

Here is a telecast from 2019 of the revised version from Lyric Opera of Chicago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwie7uLZ184

That broadcast is from the early 1990s. I had it on VHS. I saw Malfitano star in Lucia di Lammermoor in 1978. She was wonderful, ending the mad scene falling down a flight of stairs. At the time, I thought Richard Cowan made a very hot Marc Antony in this broadcast.

There's some dancing in D. O.A., which I am now watching. It's laughable.

I sat on my couch around five-thirty or six. Woke up at eight, went to the bed, and now up at ten.
