Still no energy. Made a doc appt. Something may not be right.
The 4th. I hate it. I spend my time comforting Sketch and trying not to remind myself that in VA hospitals everywhere dudes are hitting the floor screaming "Incoming!" Great legacy.

Heinrich Kley
The older I get, the more I appreciate the grotesque brilliant drawings of Heinrich Kley, whose work I first encountered in te 1960s. Looks like the common state of human affairs to me.

Conversation
A delightful evening, a two and a half hour dinner conversation with TS, my friend for 40+ years, beginning in grad school, actor, artist, retiree loving every moment of it. I should do this more often but I've outlived the local folks I once did this with.
Meanwhile, on the local front, gray weather extended through Tuesday. I don't expect to get much done, still taking it easy, maybe if the sun actually returns Wed. I can get a few chores done. Lots to read, lots of listen to, it's not as if I'm bored. I'm never bored -- well, unless I'm in an average conversation ha ha. Last night was great.

World football
It was the summer in grad school when we camped between Oregon and Nova Scotia. We had money and free time and no plans. It was fantastic.
One hot southwestern afternoon we rolled into a small college town in search of lunch and cold drinks. The town was in party mode. Turns out the World Cup was on and a large number of foreign students were showing their American friends what football was really about. We joined the party but only recently did I get the message.
All this comes to mind waiting for Spain v Italy.

Dinner date
My old friend Tom is coming through town and we're getting together tonight. Looking forward to it. He's one of the older friends I have left in this world, going back to U of O in the early 70s or maybe it was the late 60s. He played the lead in the first one-act I had produced.
Continued improvement on the health front. About time. No, let's not anger the gods, I take that back.
I actually did some writing this morning. I need to fill my mind with distractions from the world at large. Nothing ambitious, mind you, but something to keep me occupied.
