The internecine crap at the office is starting two days after Leah left. God give me patience. It’s not someone on my team, but two of my team members have been trested poorly, and I ain’t putting up with it.

On to Henry VIII, the last Shakespeare play I have to watch. It’s a Zoom production. But it’s a production.

Back from picking up no packages and no mail, and then dining in at Jerry's Deli for the first time in over three months.  I had several things I was thinking about ordering, but friend and server Ritchie beat me to the punch and said, "Chili, cheese, and onion hot dog?"  I hadn't even thought of that but it was the perfect suggestion and that's what I had and it was GREAT.  Only three booths in the entire restaurant were in use, but interestingly they were all in the same section - plenty of room between them, though.

I don't think it was ever made available for commercial sale outside of that set.  About ten years ago, Manhattan School of Music did a beautiful production.  I dob't think the libretto works a solidly as it should, but it's a beautiful work.

It's that production. Teresa Stratas, Renee Fleming and Marilyn Horne. I saw it when it aired live. I remember a few of the moments. I hope I have time to watch it again.

I saw it live, and went back a second time. Ah, those were the days. When's the last time I did that?

Nice and quiet, the way I want to go to a restaurant ;)

Well, I get to go home from work now.  Pretty much everyone else has left, so I just need to make sure all the doors are locked, then I'll set the alarm, the hie myself to home.

Be back later.
