Dreamed of ancient reruns of the British comedy show The Two Ronnies;  seeing a report about someone duped by a TV reporter; a magazine article on "hanging judge" Parker of Fort Smith, Colorado. (The real Judge Parker was actually in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where a few chapters of Lonesome Dove take place.)

Saw F.W. Murnau's silent classic Sunrise at the Cinematheque (for the second time). The story is rather conservative for my taste. [I first saw it at the Royal Festival Hall in London back in 1995, with a live orchestra!]

Another headache, likely due to the weather.

John and Rae came over for dinner, which was lasagna and pizza.

Saw the National Film Board documentary The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam at the Paradise, about a famous Sino-Western magician-acrobat.  Very interesting
