It's colder today than yesterday and my toes are frosted up but it's not as windy. In fact, there's barely a breeze so it's within in me to move forward. The problem is that I forgot my hat, but neutralized that with my hood and just wore the helmet so that my scalp was not exposed to this near-zero-feeling air.
Began reading A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest Gaines today. It's been on the bookshelf since the lizard and I moved in together so it's time I get to reading it. It dawns on me that the setting in the book will be the same as the one which I'll have my jazz brunch so that's kind of cool. Regardless this will not be an uplifting read, but then again the Hemingway stories yesterday were sort of a downer, too. Good read, and I'm sure this will be, too, but sad.
Very excited to see Mark Lanegan next month, though my brother-in-arms is not joining me perhaps the Lizard will. Had the first incarnation of "Kingdoms of Rain" in my head as I rode since it was the last thing I heard before exiting the train. The 2nd version has a more dramatic interpretation of the chorus.
No coffee yet, but I'm probably better for it. I will quickly hit the gym and work on my pecs and tris before dinner and supposedly Saturday will have nice weather in the upper 40s so maybe I can knock out a half-mar on the boardwalk.
Thank you for reading.
