Franklin: "The subject is no Venus."
--1776
"Mapmakers everywhere await your decision"--ibid.
Dreamed of the moment in the Warner Brothers cartoon Hare We Go where Christopher Columbus exclaims "Oh, ravioli!"; ordering breakfast in a restaurant, choosing scrambled eggs and sausages, but being told that was on the dinner menu.
Today the Games Meetup came to our house. There were eight people, including me. We had a lot of strawberries, but few people were interested. First we played Poo twice, a card game about primates throwing excrement at each other. Then I played Powergrid for the first time, which is an interesting game. I also played a dice game called Ra, and Ticket to Ride. (The other group played a very long Agricola game.)
Dinner was McDonald's.
Saw the musical 1776 (for the second time), taped off TCM. Intelligent though often stagey.
