Opera and Retail Therapy It was a delightful day. I love living near all the places that I love. The Metropoliton was livestreaming the Opera "Don Giovanni" courtesy of Mozart to the local Greenbrier Valley Theater. I purchased the ticket and walked over to the Wild Bean Java House. I encountered a group of Opera Lovers with a gentleman explaining the particulars of the Opera. They meet regularly on Opera days and now I am part of the group. Don Giovanni was a womanizing male hoe who gets his comeuppance in the end. We discussed the malady of saints versus sinners who go to confession and get a pass. I am sure that I have some practices that very conservative religious folks might find questionable. I don't worry about them too much. I only concern myself with love the creator above all and love the neighbors as self. Although "Bless Her Heart" is the best that I can do for one particular former neighbor. I figure that my Higher Power will sort it out in the end. During intermission, I walked a few doors down to a shop that sells vintage items. I found awesome vases made with fine china in the dollar box. The store owner invited me to go through the store. I told her that I would love to but I heading to the Opera. She knew exactly what I was talking about. I observed folks at the Met very formally dressed in seats that didn't look too comfortable and paying top dollars to see the Opera. It's on my bucket list to go the Metropolitan but seeing it livestreamed is also awesome. The price is affordable, I can wear my blue jeans. I am in my hometown and I am able to do some retail therapy during intermission. How awesome is that. During the second half of Don Giovanni, the villain is confronted by a ghost with the suggestion that he repent. He refused and off to hell he went. Better him than me. Fortunately, I have no great sins in my life especially now that I have gotten older.     Abracadabra  |

i still live in same house i bought in 1968. neighborhood has changed amd neighbors change. it is still great place.i can walk to some places or others are a 10 min car ride. the house is like me, needing repairs which is on going. i am in process of selling my 1967 dodge. i have wanted it restored but many many poor decsions overyears prevent that happening. our present wh residens economy. has driven parts, labor, etc up in stratosphere . so at my age the money is more practicle than spending some 45k to restore it. difficult dsction but ihave deal with many with the help of MY LORD AN SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. the area you are in looks peaceful. dc was on my bucket list. but no more the crime there and my short temper. is not a good mix. i will stay here in DIXIE. . good to have you back. i enjoy ur blogs. well written and very interesting THE DAYS WILL END ... TIME WILL BE ETERNAL

MY MOTHER LISTENED TO THE RADIO BROADCASTS OF THE MET JUST ABOUT EVERY SATURDAY AFTERNOON DURING THE OPERA SEASON. THEN I WENT TO THE OPERA IN CHICAGO AND SAN FRANCISCO, PARIS AND NICE. NOW WE ALSO HAVE THE MET OPERAS AT THE MOVIE THEATER RIGHT HERE IN TOWN. I HAVE NEVER BEEN BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN JUST ABOUT ALL THE OPERAS THEY SHOW BUT SOMEDAY THEY WILL SHOW ONE I HAVE NEVER SEEN. I HOPE YOU REALLY ENJOYED DON GIOVANNI, IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
