Opera

Thomas' opera Hamlet takes many variations from Shakespeare in story and character but it works within its own parameters. Yet the vocal music did not move me much, although I loved the overture and orchestration. I'm glad I saw this but it's not an opera I would see again.

Came home to learn the Tennessee women were upset. And presently, in the men's game, Butler is beating Kansas State, which I hope continues.

Well, maybe retirement as a writer is short. I feel an urgency to pursue a short personal novel about my mother, called THE NAVY WIFE. I may scribble an outline to see if I have a story. That's what stopped me before, lack of legs for a sustained work.
