Bessie-isms:

*There comes a point when dealing with doctors and hospitals where you wish they’d just put you down, and spare you the torment and cost. If your insurance runs out, you might get your wish.

*The rain that disrupts your play and fun is part of the necessity of life. Perhaps you’d be wise to reflect on that as you huddle, waiting for it to pass?

Quotable:

No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.

W. H. Auden
