Indeed.
The infrequency of my postings here ain't right. It's about once a week these days, and I'd like it to be more than that. I guess I get a little bored of it, and as I've narrowed the focus, I find I have less to say. Maybe I'll just do movie reviews. Or reviews of movie audiences. Describe the weather: It was cold but beautiful today. I went on a nice walk through Park Slope, Flatbush, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Hieghts and then over the bridge to Manhattan. This city is absolutely stunning sometimes. It can be really breathtaking. I love the winter, when the air is crisp and cold and clean. The word 'bracing' always seems particularly evocative on days like today.
The week behind: Umm.. Not much to report. Luke hurt his foot playing volleyball, which sucks, but I really enjoyed that game and felt like I played fairly well. It would have been nice to win that last game though, we had it all going our way, but we just ran out of gas. Seems like Luke might be able to get back in this season, and we're hoping. He's our rock.
Friday night I got 120% drunk at Ilio's birthday party, Saturday had dim-sum and bowled.
Tonight I had a bit of a confrontation with Joel. The issue has been weighing heavily on me lately, and it found some release tonight, though I'm not sure to who's benefit. Difficult doesn't begin to describe it.
I'm incredibly happy that Dave is here. It's been years since we've been around each other consistently, and it's wonderful. We've had two multi-hour discussions in the past week and both have been enormously helpful to me. He offers me a brilliant and often much needed perspective, quite different from my own in certain ways and sometimes exactly the piece of the puzzle I've been missing. He has a selfless and generous way about him that is decidedly rare. He brought with him a coterie of other generous, funny, talented, and genuinely kind people that I'm happy to spend time with and get to know as well. Add to them the wonderful friends I have at work, a handful of Alaskans, at least one Iowan and a kidney bean, and I'm a pretty lucky sap. Definitely some kind of a sap.
A tired sap.
