Dreamed of spading the garden at our old house in Sackville, N.B. while the new owners were away; hearing that the neighbours next door were suing, and thinking that it wasn't our problem now; the Whittier poem "Barbara Frietchie"; the Tennyson poem "The Eagle."

Started reading Heinrich Harrer's Seven Years in Tibet.  The first chapter is already exciting!

Dinner was spaghetti.

Went to the Book Club Meetup.  I had words with Karen, and now I'm quitting. (I didn't stay to talk about The Amber Spyglass.) The bottom line is that in addition to her main event, she also has to have her series book event every single month, and is too rigid to share it with a non-fiction event of mine even once.  Hard feelings. (I hate losing friends!)

Saw the DVD of the first episodes of the Jungle Jim serial, which is pretty weak. (Hardly any Shanghai Lil!)
