With the Ukrainian situation seemingly a little better today,


the Traitorous Orange Menace


again in the news


(including welcome notice of the Department of Justice expanding its investigation in this regard), and


petrol prices still punishing (I recall the Alex Katsman, who ably accompanied us in Samson, was tops, with his Eastern European accent in providing the right punch in pronouncing "GazBuddy") --


there's plenty about which to palaver with the Springfield High School pals,


before


packing


off



to


partcipate


with


the


Davis Community Church


Chancel


and


Chamber Choirs --


more music to our ears, as well as Anton Bruckner (1824-1893) - Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, left with an incomplete 4th movement upon his death,


on this definitely more than half-full-glass day (funny above, but unfortunate spelling of "oboist"),



the 37th day of summer, high ricocheting back up 11 to 76


(75 in Davis), the bithdays of


Rene Descartes (1596-1650 -- at least I think it's his birthday... therefore it is...),


J.S. Bach (we thought it was March 21, but that was O.S. -- Old Style... Julian...),


G.F. Haydn (1732-1809),


Sergei Diaghilev (1882-1929), and


Octavio Paz (1914-1998)...
