"J.J., we can't elope!"
"Why not? It's just like a big family wedding, except we won't invite the family!"
--Good Times
Dreamed of having a globe whose cover came apart and reverted to a flat map of the world.
Moira and the parents went to Kingston overnight.
Went to a tree tour in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. I brought a twig from the mystery tree in our back yard and they told me it was buckthorn (not benjamina).
Afterward I went to the Eaton Centre. I bought another volume of Peanuts reprints, and one of Dick Tracy in the 1930s. (I bought so much that they threw in a free reading light, and gave me the chance to buy a $150 tote bag for $50, but I said no.) Then I ate at Arby's.
Saw another Extreme Engineering episode, about a proposal to build a bridge over the Bering Strait. (They talked quite a bit about Canada's Confederation Bridge.) I think a tunnel is a better bet.
Saw the Good Times double episode on DVD where J.J. got engaged to a girl who turned out to have a heroin problem. (It could happen to anyone...) When he revealed his engagement, his mother asked why he hadn't broken such big news when he first came in. Because this is a sitcom, of course!
