Yes, the news about NHL Minnesota Wild and its farmteam, the AHL Aeros are arriving at ever faster pace.
We already knew that Kevin Constantine and staff will continue on as coaches. 
Now a new GM was named, JIM MILL, who has been heavily involved at the AHL in scheduling and so much more. Yes, apparently HE was THE one responsible for the draining schedule for the Aeros, among other AHL teams' road games. So, now that he is in charge of Aeros, we sincerely hope that he wields some influence and assures a more reasonable road schedule... after all, he would want to have an effective, not worn out, team moving towards the 2009/2010 Calder Cup Play Offs huh? For more details please visit The Third Intermission and Ms. Conduct's excellent report.
On the arts scene..
Reviews about Opera Theater of St. Louis productions are in and generally good. As you may know, that company presents opera in English, not the original languages, in the more intimate venue of The Loretto Hilton Theater at Webster University, St. Louis, Missouri. Most artists are housed privately at the homes of dedicated volunteers, artists appreciate the warm welcome given, but also value the privacy granted them by their 'gentle' hosts, as Met soprano Ying Huang told me, last time we met.
July and August will see wonderful performances in Santa Fe, NM. 
OVI, Opera Volunteers International, will hold its annual conference there. A good venue to exchange thoughts, meet new and old opera volunteer friends and enjoy the unusual 'house' - build in the hills outside of Santa Fe with fabulous views, the 'house' only has roof and back, the sides are open to the elements-Mother Nature helps with set and lighting designs. I remember with awe a Peter Grimes (Britten) when thunderstorms rumbled atop the opera house, rain slashed into the orchestra seats, soaking the audience, the temperature dropped 20 degrees and the wind whipped any covers around, all that in 'tune' with Britten's musical score of a gale at sea. TRULY an unforgettable experience.
