Peanuts and Puccini

Oh. My. I can't believe I hadn't found this sooner : 


Yes, that is Peppermint Patty. Skating to Puccini. Whistled by Woodstock. Charles Schultz, je t'adore.

If you haven't heard the Maria Callas version, do indulge (or the Kiri Te Kanawa, which is also exceptional [I can't say better, might be blasphemy, but it's close]). It is my very favorite aria and, of course, Callas performs it brilliantly (that face!). Never fails to make me nostalgic for Florence (and my tortured loves). ♥

Oh, and life updates... Christmas was fab. Probably won't eat for the next week or so (stuffing and potatoes and pie... never-ending deliciousness). Photos coming soon.
