61% thanks to dear reader George, who just got a fantastic item that's worth at least three times what he paid. More, please.

My mother and aunt in NJ were finally able to get their vaccine appointments through the local senior help line. They go tomorrow morning for the first shots. Color me relieved.

Once DR Michael grabs that bk perk, perhaps bk will consider putting up a few more of those.

Can anyone please explain to me the following: I'm listening for the first time to what is a most delightful opera - Die Fledermaus by Strauss - I know, I know, very late to the party but I recognize so many of the tunes. But in the middle of the opera there's something called the "gala scene" where guest singers (on this recording by von Karajan from 1960, which is wonderful( suddenly start singing other music, including I Could Have Danced All Night, Porgy and Bess, and Annie Get Your Gun. What is THAT about? Is this standard?

Yes, it is standard and it also confusing as all get out the first time through.

Elmore can probably explain it better, but, to me, it's merely been a show-off interlude.

Well, I must be off.  My sister needs me to do some shopping for her, then I'll go home.

Be back later.

An early form of celebrity/stunt casting?

Started a John D. MacDonald stand-alone called A Key to the Suite. Just excellent. I don’t want to rush it.

So, I will probably finish my Thomas Hardy first. A Pair of Blue Eyes. Meh.

Settling in with the director's cut of The Masque of Red Death. Vincent Price is wonderful. The movie looks great. I find it funny that the intro talked about all these cuts that the censors made back then and how they'd all been restored. The cut running length was 88 minutes. The restored running length is 89 minutes.


There can be a lot of wiennie photos in 60 seconds!

Tonight, when the 11:00 News ended, I quickly turned off the TV because I hate the show that comes on after the news on Sunday night.
