"If your religion depends on what someone wrote in a letter, what does that say about your religion?"--Big Love


    We finally finished the 2009 accounts for our used book business. (We bought a lot of books to add to the stock, which ate up most of our profit, but they should pay for themselves before long.)


    Dinner was spaghetti with primavera sauce made with soy milk. (I can take it or leave it.)


    We staged The Marriage of Figaro for the first time. (Beatrice is directing this opera.) I get to be in the five couple performing a courtly dance at the end of the first act!  Since the chorus only has a few numbers, we finished in just two hours, making up for last night's length.


    Saw the DVD of Pierrepoint:  The Last Hangman, with Timothy Spall as one of Britain's last hangmen.  A disquieting, very English story.
