"Si
tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime; Bizet , Carmen
no reason...I'm just playing

Carmen preliminaries Work rambled. That happens. Start on this, check this out, something goes wrong, work on that, distracted by this. Had lunch with the parents. Mom keeps fighting the computer. For example, she annouced a week or two ago that she wanted to do something with a picture but couldn't 'stop' it to do something with it. The screen saver is showing everything in her MyPictures file. Um, yes. Tonight she said that the machine wasn't 'stopping to cool down.' This probably means it isn't turning off (blank screen) after a while.. I told her how to be sure it was disconnected from the Internet and not worry about it further. It really doesn't matter, but it's often puzzling to hear her describe her experience. Sometimes she finds something and accomplishes something totally unexpected. Go figure. I explain things as best I can. And frequently. She gets what she gets. We went to a lecture on Carmen. ALO (Austin Lyric Opera) is mounting a very unusually staged version of it next month. It sounds cool. The music is so familiar. The lecture is intriguing. At home, I play with Fireworks. That's why you have the day's decoration.
