Janis Joplin (on the party aboard her train): "I've finally found someone who throws a better party than me!"--Festival Express


Started translating Julius Caesar's account of the Gallic Wars (the one that starts "Greater Gaul is divided into three parts") from Latin into English, and also Chinese and Japanese.


Dinner was McDonald's.


Rented the DVD of Festival Express, a documentary about a 1970 concert tour of Canada by train with some of the days leading rock acts.  Janis Joplin was stunning! (Her accidental O.D. wouldn't have happened if heroin had been legal...)
