Other computer and phone are fine, but got back on this laptop for the first time in a few weeks and MORE sites are unavailable now or screwy because Chrome version is so old that website security certificates and other hoogly-foogley are munting my acccess and navigation. And the Macbook operating system is so old that I CAN'T update Chrome.
And I fear that one day I'll turn this device on and WFMU and Drummer won't be accessible on it! Don't update or change ANYTHING there! Don't change the code or filters or feng shui or tableware or curtains or adjust the rabbit ears or ANYTHING, or the laptop could be exiled to a sad no-Drummer desert.

Maria Callas lost about 80 lbs between 1953-54. She had always been on heavy side, but she didn't like how it felt and she conscripted herself to a diet of salad and chicken. Some say her vocal quality diminished as a result of the weight loss.

My wife liked the book "Greek Fire", which I guess concentrated on Callas's relationship with Aristotle Onassis
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:30am
Doug Schulkind:

From Wikipedia:

Terrence McNally's play Master Class, which premiered in 1995, presents Callas as a glamorous, commanding, larger-than-life, caustic, and funny pedagogue holding a voice master class. Alternately dismayed and impressed by the students who parade before her, she retreats into recollections about the glories of her own life and career, culminating in a monologue about sacrifice taken for art. Several selections of Callas actually singing are played during the recollections. Callas was portrayed on Broadway by Zoe Caldwell (1995), Patti LuPone (1996), Dixie Carter (1997), and Tyne Daly (2011). Caldwell won a Tony Award for her performance. Faye Dunaway starred in the 1996 national tour.

The universe is indifferent. Men, I think, are so cruel to women because we cannot stand the idea of having been completely dependent on a woman for our very existence and survival.

It may well have! Anything is possible. The founder of Ark Encounters, Ken Ham, recently explained zoology: "According to Ham, the millions of land-animal species currently in existence, and the untold numbers that have gone extinct, all descended from around a thousand fundamental 'kinds,' including the 'cat kind,' the 'cattle kind,' and the 'pig kind,' conjured by God on the sixth day of Creation. 'So we answer this question here, how so few kinds can become so many species,' Ham said. 'The way we got our domestic varieties of dogs, the domestic species, the poodles and Chihuahuas and bichons, is similar to natural selection, except we do the selecting instead of the environment.'
