"What do you want?  Who are you?" 
"Dave Jenkins."
"Dave Jenkins is dead a long time ago."
"Calder Benson."
"What's your name?  Benson's dead, too."
"You ought to know, Frank, better than anyone.  You killed 'em"--Once Upon a Time in the West

Dreamed of sneaking into Cuba; visiting the beaches near the southeastern tip of the island; reflecting that the US would be smart to life the ineffectual trade embargo on Cuba.

Baked multigrain bread.

Dinner was scallops.

Saw a special Cinematheque presentation of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (for at least the fourth time).  Highly entertaining, though it's basically a western about westerns.  Too bad we had to sit through a long Bart Testa lecture first, where he used words like "arrogate" and "totalized." He also kept saying "Right?" the way Mr. Mackie, the guidance counsellor on South Park, is always saying "M'kay?"
