Dreamed of visiting my hometown of Sackville, N.B., and being overcome by pangs of nostalgia; reflecting on where it all went wrong as I was working on my Ph.D. thesis; overhearing someone speaking Japanese on the telephone; "waking up" in our old Sackville house and wondering why it wasn't Toronto; trying to splash water on my face to wake up; asking people outdoors what province this was; going to Atlantic City to interview someone but losing the key that explained where to find him; the Elliot Gould character in The Lemon Sisters who insisted on expanding his Atlantic City saltwater taffy business only to find out that the casinos were giving it out for free, leaving him ruined.
Went shopping.
Dinner was roast chicken.
Went to a conservation exhibit at the Holy Rosary church hall, where I got an application form for a solar water heater. (Afterward I stopped at Loblaws and bought some cheap post-Easter chocolate.)
