Good morning, friends.

And, to paraphrase DR Matthew, that is all I have to say about that.

I have to go do some cardio. I don't want to, but it must be done. It simply must.

I am off that darned bike.

Sweaty. But I survived.

Last night we slept with the AC running; it was too damned hot and muggy. I slept well until 4:30 or so, and around then the cats got restless.

I am still doing Noom. I have been at it now for 5 weeks. I am down 24.5 pounds. I am happy, but I still have such a long way to go. But I am headed in the right direction.

When I had my pre-surgery check-in last fall, the doctor said, "You know, you're very sick. Maybe, given what the world is going through right now, it's time to take stock of yourself and make some changes."

So I am.

Still relishing that Bernstein story that DR elmore3003 posted yesterday.

That aria is so hard to get just right in tone, between the singing, the acting, and the comedy.

We watched the first act of the 1969 BBC telecast of Britten's Peter Grimes last night. The picture was good, the designs good, the cast very good, and the sound dreadful. Surely the BBC sound folk could have adjusted things before releasing a commercial disc?

We have a dangerous heat warning here today. It's going to be quite humid; the heat index is going up to 101.

Interesting, DR elmore3003. I hated the Met's most recent staging, with everyone popping out from behind Advent-calendar windows.

I mat set it aside and watch the Royal Opera DVD with Jon Vickers, whom I saw in the role at the Met.

This morning I have a zoom thing as a guest lecturer for a Dike University musical theatre class, 8:30-10:00. I hope it goes well.

That was the work of that "favor of the day" director, the inept John Doyle, who screwed up Where's Charley? and Irma la Douce for Encores! I cannot say I think much of his work. My memory of that Met production I saw - around 1984 - was by Tyrone Guthrie.

The first 9 minutes of In The Heights that have been released early make me want to watch the entire thing.

I don’t have to usher Friday, so I think I’ll go see In the Heights.

Congratulations on the Noom progress, Singdaw.
