December 2, 2003

"He was a good boy, as gentle as the gray doves that came to peck for gravel on the flats behind the barn"--Lonesome Dove

Dreamed of reading a novel version of the western movie The Naked Spur; the Rolf Harris song "Sun Arise"; waiting for a bus in a terminal in China; the actress Mariette Hartley.

At MacClelland and Stewart I proofread parts of A Wild Peculiar Joy, a new edition of Irving Layton's collected poetry.  What a curmudgeon! [He wrote a poem about Pablo Neruda, "Where Was Your Shit Detector, Pablo?"] (I'd woke up too early in the morning, so I felt sleepy in the afternoon.)

The Cartoon History of the Universe is very interesting. [So it is--I started rereading it recently!]

Dinner was spaghetti.
