Dreamed of going to see Rancho Notorious at the Cinematheque, but the screen had been moved from the south wall to the northwest corner; seeing a Tommy gun among the seats; watching a Charlie Chan movie being filmed.
Got up at 11:02.
Baked gingerbread.
Dinner was I.G.A. chicken.
Went to the Goodenough Association meeting at the athletic club near York Mills. I met Desiree McGraw [whom I knew when staying at Goodenough College in 1995], who may be running for Parliament in the next election. [She didn't.] The guest speaker was Edward Greenspon, Editor-in-Chief of The Globe and Mail. (He's a bit of a rambler.) Afterward I asked him how you become a proofreader. He said the job doesn't really exist anymore. [And it shows, alas.]
Read 60 pages of Freddy Goes to the North Pole. Another clever book indeed.
