by There aren’t as many Halloween decorations up yet in the West Village. I hope that changes.

Although not particularly seasonal, the Choral Arts Society of Washington is preparing for the fall concert. It’s a program of British music featuring William Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast, conductor is Maestra Marin Alsop, baritone soloist is Ryan McKinny! Chorus master is (Anthony) Blake Clark. He’s outstanding.
I still haven’t read anything by your cousin Dara!
