On the Spanish occupation of the Netherlands: "All priests are hangmen, all soldiers bandits"--Don Carlo
Dreamed of visiting a wading pool on a rooftop; in upper Manhattan; not knowing where to find my shoes afterward.
Saw the cinemacast of the Metropolitan Opera of Verdi's Don Carlo at the Sheppard Grande. I forgot my ticket and had to go back for it and Father couldn't drive me there because the car battery needs fixing, but I still managed to get there in time!
Don Carlo is an opera you have to see more than once to appreciate. When I saw it on DVD I found it too long, but this time the length didn't matter. (I dropped some Toronto City Opera flyers which I'd got Tuesday, at Barbara's request.)
Dinner was the rest of the Indian food, mixed with some other stuff.
Saw the DVD of PBS' The American Experience documentary about Hawaii's Queen Liliuokalani.
