    Hell, I knew her when she was Robert Browning, carrying on with that Barrett woman. Sonnets, my heinie; she’d never been to Portugal in her life. Never been out of her own backyard. Used to camp out there under a spindly tent and call it “going abroad.” Her and that mangy dog of hers. Next time “Bootsie-Pootsie” uses my fish pond as a chamber-pot, he’s gonna get a branding-iron colonoscopy. Poets ! Huh!

      You have the most blessed fugue states, BABS.

      Please never take any psychotropic medication, even if prescribed on the threat of involuntary commitment.

      Divine Silliness.

      Unless of course, you are actually referring to a real homeless woman in which case. Never mind.

    Luvtennis,

    I just now read about your mugging and I commiserate. Hope you are recovering.

    Have you come up, or had the time to think of a new movie script? It would liven up a slow sonntag.

    Bye-bye–

    Your pal
    Camille

    So I’m hi-jacking a thread> So what? Where else am I going to put this? Sue me.

    Ordinarily Bill Richardson on CBC 2 is my go-to guy for literate opera presentation, but he came a cropper on this one. He’s interviewing Aaron Cohen of WQXR about Opening Night of RHEINGOLD. He says “I guess the Maestro conducted ‘Stars and Stripes Forever’ to begin.” Immediately, Cohen responds, “That’s correct, and everyone stood up.”

    I understand Opening Nights in Canada feature “The Maple Leaf Rag.”
