Mortality

Routine takes the edge off of mortality.

This line taken from "Nixon in China," the opera we just saw at Met at the Movies, seems to ring so true for my current life. Even with all the wonderful things happening with Michael's Museum, being in Carmen at The Lyric Opera of Chicago, waiting to hear from the publisher about my manuscript, so much to be grateful for. Ironic.
