Listening to two BBC treatments of John Webster plays, The Duchess of Malfi and The White Devil. The darkest of evil hearts are flayed here. Ugly, ugly behavior. Fascinating.

I went outside to water plants and plant two irises. I had my mask on, but it didn’t help much.

What kind of mask do you wear?  Maybe you need one with a respirator.

TOD: Chicken caesar salad is my go-to for a meal-size salad. I know, so boring, but it's a cliché for a reason.

Are these audio or BBC broadcasts? The 1970s BBC televised Duchess of Malfi, with Eileen Atkins is on YouTube.

Starting on Jardiance this morning for the first time.  I hear it's a little pill with a big story to tell.


I'm on the lookout for the side effects in the commercial

I really haven't noticed any kind of side effects.  Good luck, Freddie!
