Operaman is delayed this week and will not be here until tomorrow. He is working hard on appeasing the computer gods and looking forward to posting here within the next day. In the meantime don't fall to pieces and go doing your imitation of Tosca or Lucia or some other dingbat. Just be patient with me for twenty-four hours and come back then, okay? Thank you.
