Began reading the final installment in Miller's Sextet. It's a near 30-page dissertation on his love for a German book called "The Maurizius Case." I'd deluded myself in to thinking that I would read the book first before getting Miller's thoughts on it, but I'm glad now that I didn't because from what I can tell, it was a trilogy that was left incomplete. And, there are enough excerpts to get the gist of the story. I'm reading it as more of a learning experience, to see how well one can write an essay about another piece of work that resonates profoundly with him.
Listening to the opening tracks of I'm With You again. It nicely complements the surprisingly bright and warm morning. Upon first glance out my window, I thought today would be gray and muggy.
I plan to run today during lunch, as tomorrow I will be dressed too nicely and it might rain. Today I was assured there would be no chance of precipitation. I feel a slight soreness in my thighs but nothing I cannot handle. I wonder if it's from the squatting or the running.
Worked out last nite and did BP reps at 185, and 15 at 165. I don't know what's changed that I cannot hit the 3 sets of 8 @ 185. The only "theory" is that I'm using two 35s on each side of the bar as opposed to a 45 + 25. Oh, the tangled web a meathead weaves. I did do 3 sets of 10 at 90 on the fly and 60 reps of the swim with dumbbells (10lb) so it was a solid session last nite.
I'm a little groggy, as I had some weird, very vivid dreams this morning that woke me up a bit too early. I dreamed the Oceanside stop was at the BP station across the street from Farmer Joel's, and that I left my bike on the train. I went to the train yard to fill out a form, and sure enough, the bike had been right behind me the entire time.
The protesters are out there hoping to get clemency for Troy Davis in Georgia. From what I heard on the news, he was convicted 20 yrs ago for killing a cop. But b/w eyewitnesses recanting their testimonies, new evidence, and redoubtable jurors (who seem to be anti-death penalty), he has a viable shot at innocence. Obama cannot intervene, as it's a state matter. Some history will be made today and tomorrow.
Thank you for reading.
