The Week in Entertainment

Live: The Pirates of Penzance by the Knoxville Opera Company. Wonderful performance, energetic, well cast, hilarious.

TV: Caught up on The Good Place, which is intriguing as well as funny. Will definitely keep up.

Read: Inside the Zhivago Storm, about the publication of Doctor Zhivago in Italy (looooong) before its publication in the Soviet Union. Kevin Hearne's first "Oberon's Meaty Mysteries", this one called The Purloined Poodle. It was amusing, and nice to see Atticus again. I have to say, though, that every time the villain's plot was mentioned or "explained" I was stopped dead in my tracks. I simply cannot believe that it would work.
