"I'm very careful."
"That's what a lot of people say.  And that's why the hospitals are full of babies!"

--Bang the Drum Slowly

"'Nothing to speak of' has a way of turning into something that has to be spoken of, and very painfully"--The Pallisers


    Dreamed of a memoir by a non-existent Holocaust survivor from Greece; the early 19th-century English practice of burning hay ricks as a political protest, which was punished by hanging.


    Dinner was fish and chips. (The parents went out and bought a ton of strawberries, so we had strawberry shortcake too.)


    I was going to go out to the reopene Carlton cinema and try to catch one of the free movies, but I didn't feel up to it.


    Saw the DVD of Bang the Drum Slowly, with Robert de Niro as a dying baseball player.  Some good dialogue, though I recall preferring the TV play version.
