Dreamed of remembering to tell Moira that before seeing the Met Opera cinemacast Tan Dun:  The First Emperor, three weeks from now, there's an account of his life she can read in Larry Gonick's Cartoon History of the Universe. (Which there is.)

Finally got that big Ebay comics package mailed out to Carlos in Barcelona. (He bought the Little Orphan Annie and Abbie an' Slats packages, as well as half my On Stage strips after they didn't sell.) He's open to trading Steve Canyon and Li'l Abner.

Went to the Royal Ontario Museum exhibit of Italian design in the 20th century. (They had Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo's "The Fourth Estate," the picture of the peasant crowd they showed behind the opening credits of 1900!) It's the first time I've used my new ROM membership.
