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!

Author...Author...

An old adage says"Everyone has at least ONE book in him/her".
Not sure that applies to me, don't feel disciplined enough to buckle down and write steadily and cohesively. I am, and will be, an essayist=blogger at heart. So no launching or autographing sessions in sight.
However, shortly I will be reading a 'First Novel': "Playing Naomi" by Erika Rummel, who has previously published scholarly treatises on Erasmus of Rotterdam, etc. and is venturing into the realm of the NOVEL. Keep your eyes on this blog for more great literary news.


On the local Aeros Hockey front: we hear that


Dylan Hunter, he of the smoldering dark looks was released from his PTO but no indication where he is going

Brian Kaufman was sent down to the ECHL Gwinnett Gladiators (which will be skating against the Florida Everblades (Brad Zanon returned to them) on a day we will be at that game!) So now I have his autograph as Nr. 15 for the Aeros...

There may be further cuts to whittle down the numbers to the proscribed numbers for the season. We will have a surfeit of goalies...not a bad thing, when we recall the schlamassel we were in at last season's end.

Colton Gillies was injured in the 2. game vs Moose, but no word if he is already well enough to skate the home opener game on Friday.

And no further news on Cody Almond who had an injury during the Wild Camp earlier, but was seen skating up North at later sessions.

Gregg, of the 2 G (goals LOL) Johnson, Duncan Milroy and Andy Hilbert still on the roster, for now.

HGO Opera News:
two of HGO's STAR singers have been replaced.
Eric Cutler, tenor (Duke in Rigoletto, Belmonte (Abduction) Tamino (Zauberflote) withdrew, citing family reasons and his role will be taken on by American tenor John Osborn.

The soprano singing Elsa (Lohengrin) was replaced recently by Marie Plette. I can't find a video where she actually is identifyable while singing. The best is this: Berkely opera performance of Tales of Hoffmann-concert version. with Phillip Skinner, Plette and Olson
And so it goes, CHANGES, everywhere...but then THAT IS the watchword right now.
