Hardy: "Why do you have to tell your wife everything?"

Laurel: "Because if I didn't tell her, I wouldn't know what she wanted me to do."

--Sons of the Desert


Dreamed of finding candy Easter eggs; Dexter McGurk, a non-existent character in Dickens' The Old Curiosity Shop.


It turns out that the Toronto City Opera is doing The Marriage of Figaro and Cavalleria Rusticana-Pagliacci next year. (Barbara sent an email announcing the soloist auditions, which will take place early because of Giuseppe's knee operation.


Went to a Classical Music Meetup.  Allegria performed a couple of Corelli pieces.


Dinner was McDonald's.


Saw the DVD of Laurel & Hardy's Sons of the Desert (for at least the fifth time). [That's the one that The Flintstones kept imitating!] One of the classics.  The disc also had their piano-moving short The Music Box, which I'd never seen before.
