Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Us
Stoppard’s occasionally engaging and frequently frustrating play puts two minor characters from ‘Hamlet’ in a universe where physical laws don’t apply, free will is an illusion, insanity is the norm, and a hideous fate inevitable. Sounds eerily familiar.
Stay alert. Stay focused. Stay awake.

Rhetorical Question: Can 2020 get even worse?
Let Friday showed that yes. Yes, it can.
Rest in peace, Justice Ginsburg. Emphasis on Justice.
The worst is yet to come
The slide into whatever lies beyond madness accelerates. Weeks of federal inaction during a medical emergency, instant promises of military aid when people protest murder.

World Piano Day: Deutsche Grammophon’s virtual festival
COVID ravages the world. America bails out Boeing, Wall Street, and if all goes to plan, assorted chunks of 45’s cancerous financial empire. Meanwhile, Germany rolls out support to its artists and musicians, a nod to what that nation holds dear and what it finds worth defending.

Market plunges: Winthorpe and Valentine held for questioning
“Be it ever so crumbly, there’s no place like Rome” said Bugs Bunny and was he ever correct.

And I apologize to vultures and weasels everywhere.
