Quint: "Here's to Swimmin' with bow-legged women!"--Jaws


    Dreamed of meeting Desiree McGraw, whom I knew at my Goodenough College stay in London in 1995.


    In the morning I went on a Walking Meetup in the Forest Hill area.


    Because I'd woken up early, I napped after getting back home.


    Dinner was beef stroganoff.


    Saw Steven Spielberg's Jaws (for the second time) at the Underground.  It's best to ignore the fact that a real shark does not lurk around a beach waiting for hunters to chase him.  Quint does a lot for the movie:  Robert Shaw plays him with just the right degree of ham.  If they were making it today, they'd show the shark a lot more and it wouldn't be as good.
