"There's something in the air, and it ain't love"--Oz

Dreamed of looking at the TV listings in Britain on Monday night and seeing that they were showing A Hard Day's Night at the same time as a movie review show; renting a locker at a railway station to put my backpack in before travelling to London.

Read the Classics Illustrated Junior comic book of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Swineherd" (here called "The Penny Prince"). They gave this version a happy ending!

We finally got the Chums annual onto the market. [But it didn't sell.]

Saw the DVD of the first episode of the prison drama Oz.  It's pretty disturbing, all right.  Dostoevsky (I think) said you can learn a lot about a society from its prisons.

Won only four of the bids for the latest round of Menomonee Falls Gazette auctions.

Read the Classics Illustrated comic of Francis Parkman's frontier report The Oregon Trail, and the one about Daniel Boone.

Dinner was pizza.
