"Bonesetter" a Thrill
It was one of those occasions that I bet I'll be telling my grandchildren about. Last night I saw the world premiere production of Amy Tan's The Bonesetter's Daughter, a new opera at San Francisco Opera. I should say a new opera with music by Stewart Wallace and libretto by Amy Tan, based on her novel. Anyway, it was thrilling to be a witness to something that felt so vital. The production was stunning visually but it was the haunting music and compelling story of the love between a mother and daughter through the ages that brought me to tears more than once. There are only a few performances remaining but Hoyt is giving away tickets to this Saturday's performance on his Commuter Quiz at 6:30 all this week on the KDFC Morning Show. Try not to miss it!

I read your blog
Dear Dianne, I read your blog last week and this week. Last week, A friend and I went out to breakfast. Then, I took my friend to the Tech Museum. First, we watched two IMAX movies:Sea Monsters, about sea creatures during the time of the dinosaurs; and Lewis and Clark. Both of these were good movies. Then, we went into the Tech Museum, and we talked with one of the guys who work there. He showed us how silicon wafers are made, and how they are made into silicon chips. He showed us some silicon chips in things. My friend really appreciated this because her father, who worked in high-tech until he retired, never had the patience to explain to her what he did at work.
