Dreamed of driving into Canterbury past land being planted with potatoes and excavated gravesites; being homeschooled with a group of people at someone's house.
At McClelland & Stewart, first I worked on preparing rejection envelopes for mailing (some authors enclosed envelopes that were too small for returning their manuscripts!) and filing away some more stuff from the slush pile. Then I proofread Legal Legacy, a scholarly book about legal issues involving First Nations, including making sure that the end notes were synchronized. I also proofread a couple of prefatory pages from a new edition of Survival, Margaret Atwood's guide to Canadian literature.
At lunchtime, I ordered ginger pineapple juice. Really spicy!
Chapter 46 of Lonesome Dove is beautifully written. (It's about Captain Call's silent grief over letting a woman fall in love with him, then walking away from her.
Dinner was salmon.
