Sunday in the snow...

First of all, Mrs. A cancelled my session with Brandon---ah Freedom! But to do what? Can get free tickets to the Beethoven Violin Sonatas, could anyone ask any more than that on a day like this?.....any yet.....sometimes you think it would be easier just hanging out...but...last night FIgaro......only stayed two acts---was tired from the standing and a fairly long day, but it was more than that.....production super competent, but not striking, similarly, individual performances were extremely proficient---everyone knew exactly what he or she should do, and Kate Lindsay was superb as Cherubino, but felt very uninspired. Terfel fun to watch, animated, has a lot of talent, but seemed annoyed by the smallness of the role, wanted to take more responsability---made one more aware that the Count is the more important role--seemed like an easy role for him to inhabit, but just by nature, he seemed to be looking for more challenges.
After went to O'Neill's for a beer---did not go down to see Bob at 119, too tired, but should have, not much happened at O'Neill's---got into a conversation with a much older man named James---nice guy, but as usual, talked a blue streak at me---still might return. Wonder if there is an opera message board--havn't found one yet......
