January 15, 2011

    Dreamed of the Bonnie Tyler song "Total Eclipse of the Heart"; the HBO series The Wire being shown on a broadcast network; recalling how the movie of Forrest Gump twisted the book's opening sentence ("Bein' an idiot ain't no box of chocolates") into a line about life being a box of chocolates.


    Went canvassing to save Transit City. (The canvassers met through Facebook.) There were quite a few people considering the snow.  Jesse and I covered Richardson Avenue and Claybrook Street in Frank di Giorgio's ward. (He's undecided.) A lot of people were out--no doubt, some were in Florida--but those we met were mostly supportive.  One woman even gave us a couple of rolls she'd just baked!


    Dinner was ham.


    Went to a Games Meetup at the Runnymede Starbucks.  I played Scrabble and Smallworld.  In the latter game, I went through four races:  hill ghouls, heroic halflings, flying amazons and merchant humans.
