The Lost Weekend
I could feel the cold descend upon me starting Wednesday. I was fuzzy but functional Thursday and Friday but could feel it getting worse. The good news is, I recognized this and spent the majority of Thursday scanning, turning the scans into text and formatting the text for my next big project. I now have a 98% ready manuscript ahead of time so that’s something.
Managed to see friends on Long Island as planned for Saturday but I wasn’t up to driving. Deb did it all for which I’m thankful. Still, it was nice getting around.
Sunday, though, I gave in to the cold and was more or less a lump on the couch. Did manage to catch up on a bunch of magazines and watched House of Sand and Fog. It was a very strong drama with terrific performances from all the main cast. I was fascinated by the story structure but found some of the narrative lacking (like what did Jennifer Connelly’s character do for money?).
This morning we awoke to maybe 4-5 inches of snow which I had to shovel, cold or not, since we have a funeral to attend. Sadly, the mother of one of Robbie’s longtime friends passed away. Perhaps in the afternoon I can attempt some writing, after finishing the shoveling.
It appears that after anticipating the weekend with lots of potential, I look at it now as lost opportunities (with the exception of scoring Opening Day Mets tickets, continuing an unbroken tradition since 1989).
