"Every way's a way to die, huh?"

"I'm older.  Every way's a way to live."

--The Big Knife

President Eisenhower: "I mean, of course, no disrespect for our enemies by that remark"--Jules Feiffer


    Dreamed of concealing a tissue box in a car.


    At today's singing lesson I tried "Cruda, Funesta, Smania" from Donizetti's Lucia di Lamermoor for the first time.


    Dinner was roast beef.


    Planted the potatoes.


    Saw the DVD of Robert Aldrich's movie of Clifford Odets' The Big Knife.  An unsubtle inside-Hollywood melodrama, with Pack Palance playing a movie star clearly based on John Garfield.  Of its time.
