Good morning GUSzombies. I really don’t have too much this a.m. Did read that the powder thrown into the orchestra pit at the Met opera (closing down the matinee and evening performances) is presumed to be some eejit’s friend/mentor/opera lover’s ashes. Sort of a stupid way to honor his memory. Thankfully it was done at the intermission — but — many orchestra members remain in the pit during that time. Tens of thousands of dollars lost because of a moran.

I’m readying myself for the swear-a-thon of putting together an IKEA desk. Their directions might as well be in Swedish — the pictures suck.
Have a great weekend and Happy Whatever you celebrate on Monday.
