this will compensate for the day I just didn't have time to write about. Today is Sunday and Saturday we were so busy I just couldn't get to sit down and write. But it was good busy if I may say so.
We had things to do around the house and at the end of the day we went to the Opera to see The Barber of Seville. One just do not go to the Opera without some preparation may that one be a man or a woman. We have to decide what to wear because even if some idiots show up dressed like they go to the supermarket we don't do that.
The other extreme is men in tuxedos and women in long gowns. We don't do that either. We dress normal as it befits the opera. My wife had a long dress and I had a blazer on. We weren't the best dressed but we were close to it.
The performance was great with a total sellout. The program said it was the last performance of this opera for the season. It was sung in English but for understanding it could have been sung in Arabic because it was not possible to understand the words without reading the little prompter front of every seat. But then people don't go to the opera to listen to the words, right?
After the performance we went out to dinner to a very nice Italian restaurant and had a great dinner. By the time we got home it was well past midnight but not being tired enough we sat down to watch some television. There was a Twilight Zone marathon on one station and we were watching those episodes until almost four in the morning.
Probably that was the reason why we didn't get up until past one in the afternoon. But tomorrow life start anew, Abigail is going back to school and that means a 6:30 am alarm.
In the meantime today is a nice, slow family day.
