"Life is pain, Highness.  Anyone who says different is trying to sell something"--The Princess Bride

Dreamed of a boy from the 1970s British TV series Black Beauty having to outrun a fire in a tunnel; telling John how odd it was that John F. Kennedy's mother Rose Kennedy became an icon of American motherhood when by all serious accounts she was a terrible mother [I do think that]; climbing up to the flat asphalt roof of a large building and going dangerously close to the edge.

Saw Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride (for the second time) at the Revue.  It was my last movie before the pass I won in that contest expired, for a total of 35 admissions saving $210.  On the cute side.  Robin Wright reminded me of sister Eve in the comic strip The Heart of Juliet Jones.  There were a lot of kids there.

Started reading The Phantom in Menomonee Falls Gazette.  It's an old-fashioned comic strip about a masked superhero in the (African?) jungle.  For me it's a guilty pleasure.

Dinner was takeout Chinese food.  I ate a bit too much and later got sick.

On Six Feet Under they had a funeral for someone with no friends or family and Brenda got to watch a hooker at work.
