If you want a preview of what's on tap for tomorrow's opera, Fille du Regiment with the sensational Juan Diego Florez, listen here for a sample. To my relatively easy-to-please ear, this is one of the most beautiful and spirited tenor arias in any opera. It's not as breathtaking as Nessun Dorma but it's close. So tune in on Saturday morning and get ready to enjoy a great sing!
Much bustling around the Casa de los Sueños as we get ready to welcome daughter Alex on Sunday for a 10-day visit. She hasn't been here for about 5 years; much has changed. New floors, new kitchen, new patio, new paint job. And I think this may be her first "solo" vacation is many years; no kids, no spouse. Heaven! The guest quarters are waiting for her, stacks of books on the bedside tables for her lying-around pleasure, windows and screens cleaned (that's such a nasty job you have to have a really good reason to do it). The foccacia is about to be put together, shopping list is made for our trip to Manzanillo before we pick her up out at the airport in the late afternoon. I just hope we have good weather for her stay. She deserves it after spending a wet and cold winter in Long Beach.
