Quite wrong

The minute I looked at my program I realized the program was not at all what I thought, not a gala celebration of Sills, but rather a real memorial, a loving tribute by friends and family, with a little music. Not at all appropriate for a frothy write-up of who sang what and how, with cracks at Henry Kissinger (no matter what I may think of him.) Apologies if you read the earlier entry. I'm about to take it down. I hope you heard the broadcast. Carol Burnett and Stanley Sills spoke particularly movingly, and for that matter, it must be admitted, so did Kissinger.

Thanks, dear.

I listened to a lot of it. Domingo and Netrebko sounded wonderful. Bloomberg was funny. I was looking forward to hearing Caroll Burnett, but that "playing in the sandbox" schtick was too saccharine for me.

I don't know, Chalks, it sounds like they were pretty good pals, so Carol Burnett gets a saccharine pass for the day, from me anyway.
