Phantoms on my mind…
Wouldn’t you know it, I’m sitting here trying to distract myself from the relationship difficulties I’ve been having, and decide that talking about the fine arts and specifically Toronto (a place I’ve always wanted to visit, and which actually had a minor role in said relationship difficulties).
Toronto is doing a revival of Phantom of the Opera, that great and tragic tale of doomed love. I hear people poo-pooing Andrew Lloyd Webber left and right, and personally, I think it’s silly: the guy is a genius, and while he may not be Shakespeare or Mozart, there’s no denying his ability.
So read the article, it’s cute, speculative, and if they do the revival, it’s another reason to head up there. Hell, I may have friends who are working it…but the first line of the article, did it have to be, "Can you ever recapture the magic of your first great love?"

Gary, I hope things are looking better now. Let me know if you need anything.
Well, not so much better, as they just keep going. Life doesn’t stop. So…we just enjoy what we can. Thanks for the sentiment.
