"My executioners will have to join a long line."
--Major Dundee
Went to the Book Club Meetup at the Lillian Smith library. Karen rented a room in the basement, which resembles a dungeon slightly, to discuss Shakespeare's Richard III and a Josephine Tey mystery involving the King. Someone brought some good brownies. I gave a big talk about what happened in the Wars of the Roses, then left early for a movie.
That movie was Sam Peckinpah's Civil War western Major Dundee, shown in a restored version with a new score. It's a terrific macho epic, with the definitive Charlton Heston performance. (Karen told me that she met Heston once, and he kissed her hand!)
The others came back from Kingston. Donald, John and the girls came over for dinner, which was takeout Indian food.
Baked raisin bread.
