May 20, 2003


Got up at 7:27.

Moira's been listening to our Royal Family of Opera records, and some of the music has been going through my head, especially Pilar Lorengar's "Depuis le Jour" (from Charpentier's Louise). [On our record, there's a scratch right where she sings "L'amour etend sur moi ses ailes."]

Went shopping.

Had an afternoon nap. [This was before I started doing that all the time!]

Dinner was spaghetti.

Went to karaoke.  There were so few people that the first round was double songs!  I sang "Burning Down the House," "Dancing in the Dark," "If I Were a Rich Man," and "Folsom Prison Blues."

Read a Harper's article about how ecological reverses caused the collapse of Mayan civilization, suggesting the same thing could happen in today's world.
