Luciano Pavarotti

-
Have you ever noticed that opera singers seem to be the happiest people in the world? In all the interviews I've seen with Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Beverly Sills, and others, they are practically glowing with warmth and enthusiasm for life. And they seem to be the nicest people in the world too---Pavarotti garnered this incredible affection from people, and Placido Domingo went to Mexico to help earthquake victims. I don't think it's just the wine and Italian food, either. It could be that they spend their lives making music for a living, but then look at the pop stars and rock stars. There's something there. In honor of Pavarotti, I'm going to spend . . . well, let's start small and practicable . . . the next DAY really trying to enjoy every moment. To act like the world is my oyster. To live like an opera star.
