  What do you think, Singdaw?

So far, I think the singing is quite good.

And the tuna around the ring as well, for good measure.

I needed something totally different from The Apartment, so I am watching a documentary called Every Little Thing, which is about a woman involved in hummingbird rescue. The footage of the birds is awe-inspiring.

TOD: I'm currently stumbling down a rabbit hole of the jazz trumpeter Avishai Cohen. I've listened to a couple wonderful albums so far.

During the pandemic, one of my pet projects was to see stage productions of all of Shakespeare's plays. One of the best was a production of The Two Noble Kinsmen at the Globe Theatre.

The library now has a whole series of Shakespeare plays at the Globe in front of live audiences. I'm now watching All's Well That Ends Well. I had seen this ages ago when I was a teenager. I did watch the only production I could find online, but it was pretty bad. So this is a real treat

Reading Ina’s memoir reminded me that Nora Efron was married to Nick Pillegi, making them a real-life Nick and Nora.

The end of the first act reminds me of why this isn’t the best of Shakespeare’s play. The leading lady is a marvel, wise, funny and a miracle worker. The man she loves is unworthy of her and we the audience don’t want them to end up together. She deserves better.

Thanks for the link, John!  I, most fortunately,  was able to get the Blu-ray AND the re-released soundtrack. :)

But of course. It was a game changer for me.
