About Me

My photo
Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Follow the team or not ...

Soon they will publish the Aeros 09/10 schedule.
And the pre-season game locations.
Do I really want to go out of town to see THOSE? Maybe at the home venue.. just to find out if the new guys show talent (in all ways ;-)!
And maybe, just maybe, there will be some good scorers among them, not just defense, defense, defense guys.
Will there be ONE who inspires?
Will there be ONE who postures and strips?
Will there be ONE who skates like greased lightening?
Will there be ONE who can really pass the puck?
Ah, the suspense is mounting.
And let us hope there will none of these ;-)but more goals! :-)


So yes, I will go to THE local pre-season game, IF I am in town and/or not committed to - you guessed it - opera, my other passion.
Am so looking forward to Opera in The Height's first performance September/October of 'I Pagliacci' (Leoncavallo) plus 'Il Tabaro' (Puccini), an unusual combo of these two short verismo operas. And, too, so curious about the young singers debuting in them at THE OH! Maybe one of the tenors will sound like Franco Corelli, even if he may not quite make it in looks or vice versa - just listen to this:


For the time Los Toros are not in the cards.
1. Mexico seems a bit too "hot" for gringas right now.. who wants to be caught in crossfires, eh?
and
2. Spain is just too far away, plus the Corrida season there will be over, come fall.
So here are some magnificent bulls..in various colors, with diverse horn configurations and 'morillos' (the big hump which separates domestic cattle from toros bravos. Later more on the art of Los Toros and ist history.



We are so ready for Opera and more, for instance a visit to view Allen Houser's foundry and sculptures, in Santa Fe, NM.

No goalie fights?? Don't say that! I've been waiting for years to see one in person. :)

Hey, did you miss the one last season when BB let fly? :-)
And got sent to the sinbin (figuratively speaking..some winger (?) sat for him)
I just don't recall what team was the one that crowded BB so much he went somewhat bonkers? Peoria? Iowa Chops?
