"Some people aren't cut out to be farmers."

"I don't know if this land is cut out to be farmed."

--O Pioneers!

"His song could sour beer"--Peter Grimes

Saw the Met production of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes at the Sheppard Grande.  I noticed that "Old Joe Has Gone Fishing" is in 7/4 rhythm!  Love the chorus at the beginning and the end.

Dinner was McDonald's.

Saw the DVD of the handsome TV movie of Willa Cather's O Pioneers! starring Jessica Lange.  Now I want to read the book.
