The Bel Canto last night was just magnificent. I even recognized some of the arias, thanks to my occasional attendance at Mary Ann Van O.'s opera sessions at the clubhouse. Went with Barbara D. and saw lots of other Sunrise Bay residents, as well as a number of my fellow members of the acting company.
Today is our wedding anniversary. No big party this year, just Alison and Mike for dinner. I wish Pat's health was as good as it was last year. Of course, all things are relative--he wasn't that well then, but was considerably better than he is now.
It's Fathers' Day too, and our four children, we both know, are the best gifts he could possibly have received in his lifetime. Mine, too.
Wider: I continued to be impressed by Chris Floyd at Empire Burlesque. Today, he very aptly compares our killing of civilians in the middle east with the television show "Dexter." The whole premise of the show--a "good" serial killer, who offs those who escape civil punishment--is a casual trashing of the rule of law itself, but hey, who cares in this murderous age?
