Home with Harriet all day, and orchestrate about half the twelve pages of Samson and Delilah: VII. Daughter (Jephtha [someone should have thrown the book at him]) in the morning, while digital archival copies of several analog recordings are made (John Adams - Nixon in China, Robert Ashley - Private Parts, J.S. Bach - Magnificat) on the new Innovative Technologies machine, but some tracks won't import into iTunes (suspect that the latter is misbehaving).

An open and shut casebook....
