Cold, with a cold

[gurdonark]

Yesterday reading and resting consumed most of my day. I looked up, and suddenly, it was 2:30 in the afternoon. A few moments later, it was 5:30. I watched rerun of the Buffy episode in which she first confronts Adam, then tried to go for a brief walk at our little local park. I was barely a block from our house, when I had to turn back. I really didn't have the energy.

My wife made a wonderful turkey chili, which is a real comfort. Last night, we watched the last x amount of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I remember seeing that movie just after I'd started college. It was such an thrill for me, then, that acquired sense that we are not alone. I still get that thrill when each new planet is discovered. Somehow I think that the search to understand what is "out there" is very important.

Today will be another day of rest. I'm eager to avoid having one of those drawn-out colds--I want to nip it in the bud with much rest.

homemade chicken broth with lots of garlic is my recommendation

that and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", one of my all time favorite films

i'm glad that you heed your body's needs and rest proactively

i love it when Richard Dreyfuss made the mountain of mashed potatoes on the dining room table

that's when i knew he was really gone!

Yes, that scene with the kitchen-sculpture is so cool, because he seems so crazy when he's doing it, but the rest of the movie proves he's not crazy at all:). I plan on having some chicken broth today, so I hope that will speed me through this.
