"Before you take off all my clothes, I have one thing to ask." "Yes?" "Take off yours"--sizzling romantic dialogue in Captains and the Kings
Monday night I went to a Mathematics Meetup at the Rubikloud Industries office near King station. We talked about group theory, which I recall studying at college thirty years ago. I won't be able to attend often, since it's on the same night as choir practice, but it's an interesting group.
Thursday night I went to see a documentary at the Bloor about people staying in Antarctica through the winter (our summer), with the Movie Meetup group. I was careless enough to get popcorn, and got sick. (When I upgraded my Bloor membership to the silver level, they threw in about nine free popcorns.)
Thursday after seeing Dr. Hassan I went to North York Centre library and borrowed the DVD of Captains and the Kings, a 1976 miniseries that was part of NBC's Best Sellers, a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to repeat the success of Rich Man, Poor Man. As a young Irish immigrant becoming a big robber baron in the Civil War era, Richard Jordan is a remarkably colourless lead, though Charles Durning has some life. (Durning could have used a better agent: he was always making movies like The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas!)

My goodness, James, you are everywhere and doing everything! What is the name of your choir, and do you give public concerts?
