Thank you. I have no fever and no symptoms other than a scratchy throat.

Irma la Douce is not very good. I have been watching it forever. And I still have a half hour to go.

DR MichaelG, I am so happy that La Sonnambula is going well. I only know a couple of arias recorded by Callas, who came up yesterday in my iTunes disaster. I'm not a huge Donizetti or Bellini fan; but I do love Rossini and Mozart. I guiess Beethoven's Fidelio, which I love, also falls into that time zone I've created. Anyway, I'm very, very happy for your company's success.

Thanks, DR elmore3003! I'm not as big a Bellini fan as I am of Puccini and Verdi. But it's really fun to get inside these operas and see what makes them tick, and there's always plenty of gorgeous music. We did Norma a few seasons ago. I agree with Fidelio as a favorite.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. Our second performance had a bigger house who were again enthusiastic, and laughing at more of the jokes than last night.

We got our first review, with lots of positive things to say, including the chorus:

After the disappointment of Irma, I started Houseboat with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. I didn't realize it was a sad comedy. I like it, but the kids are all sad.

I loved it.

Some skits were better than others, but I enjoyed it tremendously.

Laughed more than I have in a very long time.

Shed a tear or two, as well.

Paul McCartney closed the show with “Golden Slumbers”.

His voice is not as strong, of course, but at 82, that man still rocks!

Paul Simon opened with “Homeward Bound”.

Very touching.

Lots of very funny people scattered throughout the audience, who were brought into several sketches.

Nathan Lane had a cameo, and he was great.

Now I will try to find it online, so I can watch parts of the show again.

Last night, they showed the very first SNL episode, hosted by George Carlin.

I miss him.

We currently have winds blowing at 60 miles per hour.

Hope the power stays on.
