Meanwhile, Ukraine: Is the tide turning against the invaders?
Is Russia narrowing its focus? Is Putin lying again?
Meanwhile, California: Weather still nice,
34th day of summer,
high down 3 to 80 --
so, enough of being in the house,
and
we're
up
for
errands
in
the
evening --
on this day,
the anniversary of
the founding of
Venice (421),
the discovery of Saturn's moon Titan, by
Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695),
the birth of Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), and
the expulsion of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) from
Oxford, on account of his
The Necessity of Atheism (1811).
And let's not forget the birthdays of Bela Bartok [1881-1945 -- how about re-listening to
Concerto for Orchestra (1943)

which could be on my top 7 list for recordings to take to a desert island, along with
Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) - The Rite of Spring (1913)
Alban Berg (1885-1935) - Wozzeck (1932)
Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) - Symphony No. 3 in C Minor ("The Flaming Angel"), Op. 44
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) - Symphony No. 5 in D Minor, Op. 47 (1937)
Philip Glass (b. 1937) - Einstein on the Beach (1975)
Mark Alburger (b. 1957) - The Bible, Op. 168 (2000)] and
David Lean (1908-1999... seen here in Finland, while filming
Dr. Zhivago (1965), after the 1957 novel by
Boris Pasternak, 1890-1960, and featuring music of
Maurice Jarre, 1924-2009)

While media of the hours includes
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) - Symphony No. 9 ("Great") (1825),
Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) - Waverley Overture, Op. 1 (1828 -- perhaps what did Schubert in...)
Peter Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) - Symphony No. 3 in D Major, Op. 29 (1875): II. Alla Tedesco
Hans Hermann Wetzler (1870-1943) - Visionen, Op. 12 (1923),
Holst Gustav (1874-1934) - The Golden Goos, Op. 45 (1926), and the
not-quite-so-classic Star Trek (1966) - Season 2, Episode 30
Catspaw (1967), with music of Gerald Fried (b. 1928) --
the main event is definitely Harriet's
Martin Family Zoom Reunion, organized by Bonnie Sweeney,
which transpires over a solid 2 1/2 hours!
Vastly more pleasurable than hearing about conspiracy-mongerer Ginni Thomas,
and the clear conflicts-of-interest re the judgements of her Supreme Court judge husband.
And much so also re a program on Mars that starts out promissing, and then
degenerates towards wackyland, which evidently is not unusual since
The History Channel took a dive toward fiction from fact for financial gain....
