Tuesday is rough around the edges
I had just purchased a compact disc of Pagliacci sung by Andrea Bocelli as the lead singer. I also have the two other versions with Placio Domingo and Luciana Pavarotti. The plot is about a man who kills his wife for cheating on him. He dresses in a clown's outfit and sings a song of passionate betrayal where at the end he breaks down crying. Pagliacci is such a beautiful opera about such a tragic situation. In real life if you kill someone, it is jail time or even death row if you are found guilty in a court of law. However, I am pretty sure this doesn't enter the minds of the opera audience watching this crime of passion. Back in the world of reality, yesterday was a fun trip where mom and I got our teeth cleaned and we got to visit an close friend named Dee. We had lunch at Dee at her house and chatted over political ideas. Mom and I left her house hoping to see her again sometime in the future. The day seemed to be pretty successful in our quest to get things done. Today, mom does her volunteer work at the Democratic Headquarters. I stay home and clean . I will probably make a quick trip to CVS to pick up some items, but I would return home in record time.

Have you ever seen the movie Hunt for Red October. There is a scene where the crewman in charge of the listening device for other subs is discussing opera with some other crewman. It is kind of interesting. If you haven't seen the movie, it is a must-see with Sean Connery. If you have already seen it, then check it out again from the library. By the way, I have always found the best part of going to a dentist is leaving the office. I guess that I have a phobia about dentists and dental drills. Today is senior day at the movies and we are going to see the movie quarantine which should be good. Have a nice day. Lew

Quick question. In your picture, where have all the people at the beach gone? Shark capital of the world? Return of Jaws? Hmmmm! This dilemma could even scare away the bikers this weekend Biketoberfest. Lew
