Birthdays:
Jacopo Peri (1561 – 1633): Lamento di Iole
Josef Strauss (1827 – 1870): Fireproof!
Book update: had a great conversation with one of the main editors. Otherwise I have been physically run down by the heat wave (combined with a failure of the AC), worries about the blackouts (planned as well as unplanned), and scope creep and unexpected problem cascades on every project I am currently working on. We shall see if these issues continue or not.
