#1) Yay!! TBP ( # 43 above) re. Maru Book/ September!! All o’ us feline librariologists need to gather the pennies, from behind our sofa cushions & save up. Meg (et al) please alert us when the book (as “they say” they say, these days) “is dropped”, ok?

#2) @ Ed’s (? Theo? not specified #20) I just dipped into the page of R. Simmons photos you linked above ….the photo w/ him sprawled out (no, not nekkid) among the salad greens (as tho’ he were in a Roman orgy) …is …rather…quirky & sensually suggestive ….odd but true.

[Remember, this is the internet. There are things you can't un-see. ;) - Ed.]

Thanks for providing that moment of “*wait, HUH???*” !!!

I don’t usually go to the usual Verdi/Puccini/Mozart revivals. So if it was anything this year, it would probably be Lulu, and that depends a lot on the soprano.

Are you going to any operas this year? We are thinking of Lulu among others. I went to Dr. Atomic with friends who know Gerald Finley so we went backstage, my first time backstage at the Met – very cool!

That was pretty much torture. I got yelled at during rehearsal for starting to giggle at about 3′ 33″. Keeping a straight face in performance, while our conductor gave carefully timed downbeats, was HARD.

But I like Schoenberg, and I love 20th century opera. Anyone get to Dr. Atomic last year?
