NOT ABOUT EASTER

The Queen woke early (4 a.m.) and mused a lot about Easter, it's meaning, celebration, symbols and so forth.  And had some pretty interesting thoughts -- from Christ arising from the tomb to Fabrege' eggs.  After all of that, she has decided not to write about Easter.  The Queen's prerogative.

One of the things in my world now is a very large TV with all that new stuff.  Folks if you have never seen The Phantom of the Opera ----- what can we say, you are deprived.  Now we do not like opera per se.  (Here we could expound on screeching, etc.)  But this, my dears, is not "Opera", it's ART, GENIUS, TREASURE, CLASSIC oh my.

We first saw Phantom at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles - you know, where they've held the Oscars.  Big, big auditorium.  Margaret -- being well connected-- had gotten tickets and shared.  Seems like it was 8th row......I had no idea what I was in for.  But for those of you who are deprived, in this production the show opens when a humongous, glorious chandelier travels from the top of the back of the pavilion down to the stage with a loud something.  Now this incredible lighting fixture is about a block long (well, maybe we exaggerate slightly).....You just MUST see this.

I have seen the play 3 times in different venues and, now the movie.  I don't know when this came out, but it's got to be out there and what a treat.  There is nothing wrong about this movie.

We would urge that viewing be uninterrupted if at all possible.

In My World this is a beautiful thing.
