I need coffee! [In reply to] Can't Post
I've been watching the Ring cycle on PBS. We don't have a way to record; too much of a mix old and new technology at our house. (And even if we did, if I recorded it, I'd probably never find a way to watch it. The only way is to carve time out of my sleep time.) And it's airing from 9-1 every night. Why they can't do it from 6-10 I don't know.

Anyway, last night was the third one. I get up at 5, so I'm very bleary-eyed. But it's been so much fun. I've been wanting to see the Ring cycle for decades. I came to it first through the book, a very yummy library book illustrated by Arthur Rackham. (You can laugh, but that's how CS Lewis discovered it too.) It took me years to find my own copy. In the meantime, I bought the record album, about 20 vinyl disks, I think. So I was familiar with the story and the music. But I'd never seen a production. I'm having a great time. But I'm soooo sleepy now!
