"A man does not rise to become the Queen's butler unless he is gifted with extraordinary ingenuity, adaptability, versatility, dexterity, cunning, sophistication, sagacity, discretion and a host of other talents that neither you nor I possess"--The BFG

Dreamed of being in a lifeboat from the Titanic; considering that the people in the lifeboats didn't know when (or whether) they'd get rescued.

Finished the Marines comic and started the Classics Illustrated special comic "Crossing the Rockies."

Dinner was spaghetti, which I cooked.  Except we were all out of the regular spaghetti, so I used buckwheat noodles instead.

Finished The BFG and started Film FlamThe BFG makes clever use of language.

"Crossing the Rockies" had a chapter on the Donner Party but it didn't mention the cannibalism!
