"The myth of the cowboy grew purer every year because there were so few actual cowboys left to contradict it"--In a Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas
Dreamed of looking through the bookshelves of our Sackville cottage for Noddy books and finding quite a few; coming home to Toronto by train; the song "Leaving on a Jet Plane."
Read some Tug Transom stories in Menomonee Falls Gazette. It's a British comic strip written by Peter O'Donnell (Modesty Blaise), about the adventures of a tramp steamer captain and his crew. It's a guilty pleasure, what with its old-fashioned "beef and beer" Englishness.
Went down to Dragon Lady Comics and picked up a Menomonee Falls Gazette issue and some Dick Tracy comics I'd won on Ebay. I also refilled my Celexa prescription and bought film for my camera.
Dinner was shepherd's pie.
Started reading Larry McMurtry's In a Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas. He has a unique perspective.
At choir practice we were working with the soloists on Theodore Dubois' oratorio The Seven Last Words of Christ.
