Spontini's Agnese di Hohenstaufen, in the live recording from the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in 1954. Also Gli Ugonotti from La Scala in 1962.

I don't have a real bucket list any more, which may be a bad sign for me. However, there are plenty of things I wouldn't mind seeing or doing again.

I hardly ever found a good escort through PGN, except for the ads for Premier.

I wonder why he calls himself "Cannondale Man" but his only bike photo is with a Trek bike.

I do all my hunting in supermarkets. The only food I ever obtained on my own was fish that I used to catch or berries that I used to pick.

My mother-in-law didn't like meat, because she had been raised on a farm and was forced to eat a lot of it when she was a child, so she wouldn't eat it as an adult. But her non-meat diet wasn't particularly healthy, because she tended to simply substitute a lot of eggs and dairy for herself in place of the meat that she served to her omnivore husband and sons. At least one of her doctors thought that was responsible for her frequent digestive problems and colon cancer. I try to eat a minimum of red meats for ethical reasons, but I can't imagine becoming a serious vegetarian or vegan. I eat a variety of foods and cuisines, and prefer those that utilize a lot of vegetables and fish, but basically I eat what I like and what is convenient, and try to avoid too much sugar and dairy.

Most of my hiring was pre-Internet. Some ads were from little mags like HX or Next, but most came from The Advocate, especially after they split off the pink pages.

Yes.

I get flu, pneumonia and shingles vaccines, because they have been around long enough to have a reliable record, but I would be reluctant to be one of the first to try a new vaccine for a new illness.

Just don't cum in my eye.

Why is this in the South America forum? PV is in North America.

I have flown LAX to London on VA; not bad, not great. I prefer Air New Zealand.

Damn! I wonder if he's the guy who stole my spouse's bike?

They do, but Haas is old enough to be Paul's father.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

Tommy Paul.

Tommy Haas.

That's Tommy Haas.

Tommy Paul is so cute.

I know someone who had the same kind of reaction to the swine flu vaccine; treatment and rehab took a year, and she has never been the same.

The fear I expressed earlier is starting to happen. The Palm Springs shelter is in the news today because people are starting to give up dogs that they adopted earlier in the pandemic, now that they are having financial difficulties.

No.

Naturally hairy.

No wonder Trump is jealous of Bezos.

I worked remotely from home from 2002 to 2018, and I found that I got more done from home in the same time frame, without the casual socializing with colleagues that I used to do in the office. And I could do laundry at the same time!
