"If only I could have seen what I was turning into..."--This Is Elvis

Dreamed of driving home to Sackville, N.B., through slow traffic in Boston; walking through a large, unruly crowd of young waterfront celebrants; a Tarantino movie with someone the Mob was after guaranteeing they'd find him by driving a big, flamboyant car in their neighbourhood; already feeling sleepy in the afternoon; considering which U.S. presidential candidates actually deserved to win.

Went shopping.

Saw the famous 1960 TV special of Peter Pan with Mary Martin. By today's standards it was pretty cheesy.  Moira said, "That girl playing Wendy must be the worst actress I've ever seen in my life!"

We got our first ABEBooks payment for the books we sold.  It was almost $600!

Dinner was more turkey pie.

Saw the pedestrian documentary This Is Elvis (for the second time). The early re-enacted scenes and the first-person narration were lame, but the documentary footage was still impressive.

Happy New Year!
