>>>You should have seen the looks I
got the time I wore a day-glo pink Hawaiian shirt.<<<

LOL, you guys are so funny, aaah ha ha ha.

You know what, with some of great talent we have here, I think we can write a great opera.

The very reason Joyce picked this opera was "Una Furtiva Lagrima"
She said this was her favorite song (do you call this aria?).

Anyway it is comforting to know I don't have wear tie and tuxedo for this occasion. (I don't think I have guts to wear Hawaiian pink shirt, though.)

Now I know the overall story, (which I thought was very cute) and feel a bit more comfortable.

If I like this one, I'll might even try few more.
Since you are an opera regular, can you give me your 3 favorite ones?

PS: 10 days late, but happy birthday Henry!

Henry, it sounds as if I ever decide to try the opera I should look you up. I could wear my bright yellow bowling shirt with a giant Colorado Springs Shriners logo embroidered on the back. A friend bought it for me in LA from a store that specialized in used bowling shirts. It's got a nice "Bill" stitched in over one of the front pockets. I got some interesting looks when I showed up at a country club in Lexington, KY for a scramble. It was the only short-sleeved shirt I owned that had a collar, and they insisted I had to have a collar to play the course. It's destined to become a family heirloom, although the kids aren't fighting over it. <G>
