Been on the Tube of You, listening to elmore's Requiem suggestions. So far, I've sampled the Rutter, which I knew I'd like because his harmonic language is akin to mine own, the Weill, which is very much in his Threepenny musical language, the Dvorak, which I enjoyed, at least the bits I heard, the War Requiem, which I'm wondering if I own, and finally Brahms.

Of what I've heard, the Rutter appeals most, but I really liked what I heard of the Brahms a lot, via Klemperer conducting. For the Britten I listened to Britten conducting, and for the Dvorak there are two recommended recordings, one by Ancerl on DG and one by Istvan Kertesz, whose recordings I love and his is the one I partially listened to.

Kertesz had some good stuff going on. I'm thinking there were a couple of interesting Mahler recordings.

The cats and I are going to settle in and watch more Jeeves and Wooster. Last night we watched the episode from Season Two titled "Kidnapped," which several American A&E stations would not show in the US. It was completely politically incorrect and outrageously funny, ending with every male in the cast except for Jeeves in blackface; a minstrel show and banjos banging out "Lady of Spain" figure in the plot. I loved every un-PC moment of it it.

It was one of the funniest things I've ever watched.

I'm glad that you are enjoying these, BK. I'm a huge Dvorak fan, and you might like his horror cantata, "The Spectre's Bride," which I believe he composed for a choral festival in Leeds. I'm also very fond of Dvorak's Mass in D. I also think you might like Sir Arthur Sullivan's cantata, "The Golden Legend," which is quite wonderful and not at all like the Gilbert & Sullivan operas.

I have the Klemperer recording of the Brahms. I love Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. She's the soprano by which I compare all others.

Listening to our CEO. There’s no set plan on going back to the office after Jan. 1, but he did say that a much broader, permanent work from home mix will be put in place. (Yay!)

There might also be a healthy mix of wfh and a couple of days at the office.

That's great, John! My sister is allowed to work from home until the end of the year, but she also wants to permanently work from home, even after everything opens up.

Vibes she is able to.

Thanks, Jane!

As if life isn't depressing enough these days, it is truly ugly and depressing outside

I am also very grateful not to be in the center of the fires causing the ugly depressing haze.

J.B. has a new talent. He is Neely in Valley of the Dolls.

I took a selfie video of him on my shoulder banging his pill bottle around. It’s hilarious.

Gratuitous post No. 100.

This was four days of exhausting work. This afternoon, a one-hour meeting took 2.5 hours and left key players depressed. Wondering if I will have to work this weekend.
