September 1, 2003

Dreamed of a large group of strangers coming to our Sackville house uninvited, for  a meeting, and waiting at the door without ringing the bell; remembering the actual quote "Chet Huntley cried when he reported Martin Luther King's death.  I never noticed him crying when he reported the latest Vietnam body count like it was a grocery list."

Gave the trees some pruning.

Dinner was shepherd's pie.

Saw Six Feet Under again.  I notice even more details on second viewing.

The Salon series about documents promoting free speech is excellent.  Last week they discussed Martin Luther King's "Letter From a Birmingham Jail"; this week was about how Benjamin Franklin's grandson Benjamin Bache opposed the federal government and became a martyr for American democracy.
