"To err is human.  To keep on erring is more human.  Ma is getting me all mussed up.  She uses me for exercise"--early comic strip hero (and mischievous child) Buster Brown

Aunt Duchess: "Oh no!  Why didn't they cover me over years ago when I fell in that ditch?"--western comic strip Red Ryder

Dreamed of riding on a roller coaster.

Read some episodes of Gunner in Menomonee Falls Gazette.  It's a comic strip about, of all things, a South American soccer team.

Got some Star Weekly comic sections.

It was Father's 75th birthday so we ate takeout Chinese food. (My fortune cookie said, "You love Chinese food." Well, duh!)

Saw the DVD of Michael Cacoyannis' A Matter of Dignity.  It's a very effective melodrama about a Greek heiress whose family is about to go broke and whose mother wants her to marry a playboy she doesn't love to save them.  There's an amazing scene of a loud quarrel with a Strauss waltz in the background!
