Career
Things On My Mind, Part 2
06/08/08 Filed in: Folderol
• Awaiting the start of NBA Finals Game 2.
Just how much was Pierce taking advantage of an opportunity? I mean, he and Kendrick Perkins couldn’t have plotted out the whole thing. (“Hey, man...in the third quarter, try to ‘accidentally’ land on me at some point. I got a way to fire up this crowd.”)
• I’m giving The Sunlight Dialogues another try. Last time was a long time ago in an alcoholic fog. I may have actually read the entire book, but of course, I can’t tremember. Why now? Last night, we watched Beowulf, the amazingly horrid Zemekis zombie animation version. And of course, there was Grendel. Not John Gardner’s Grendel (how I wished it were so!). Naturally, that got me thinking about Gardner and THAT led me to recall Sunlight Dialogues.
• Speaking of booze, I’m approaching my the anniversary of my sobriety. 17 years on June 21.
• I’ve been in touch, briefly, with old friends recently, and I’m looking forward to catching up with all of them.
• I have a new gig. The paperwork’s not fully processed yet, so I won’t divulge, but if all goes through, I won’t have to travel for a while.
