Biff: "I've always made a point of not wasting my life, and every time I come back here, I know that all I've done is to waste my life"--Death of a Salesman


    I was a long time getting to sleep again. (Didn't wake up till about 14:00!)


    Dreamed of doing an acting exercise where I played Stalin on his deathbed; telling my shrink about it.


    The pipe workers were going to come to our house today, but got delayed by a leak in the water main.


    Dinner was fettucine alfredo.


    We couldn't find any seed potatoes, so I'm going to plant regular spuds.


    Went to a Toronto Social Group Meetup at Scallywag's.  We had a Scrabble tournament, with everyone playing three games.  In the first game my first letters included both blanks, so I used up all seven letters and got the 50-point bonus on my first move!  I owned the first game, finished last in the second, and narrowly won the third.


    Wrote a customer review of Stephen E. Ambrose's To America at amazon.com .  I didn't think much of it. [Ambrose let his patriotism cloud his judgement...]
