It's 1/1/10 or 14 in binary. Who knows what that may mean. Have recovered some from the cold that I had contracted. Had a good night of sleep last night. I wasn't interrupted by having to deal with a runny nose, like I was over the two previous nights. Chicken noodle soup helped a lot.

But, I still the bulk of the first day of the New Year on the horizontal. I just relaxed and slept as I could, stopping only for food and bathroom breaks.

I dreamed last night about riding a bicycle. I was zooming about, getting in tight spots, and wheeling away at the last moments. The dream was prompted by a YouTube video I watched about a guy doing all kinds of tricks on his bike.

I watched a movie, The Killing Fields. It was a story based on real-life events around the time of the fighting and purges that took place in Cambodia. The flow of the film was somewhat jerky but it gave a full sense of what the Cambodian man, who was the translator and ultimately the star of the film, endured and overcame. I must say I was a bit surprised by the movie--from the title I was expecting more about the war. It turned out to be more about a tale of friendship.

Day one! Oh, yes another day! What have I done on this initial day? Slept quite a bit! Read a little! Thought some about what it is I an do in 2010. What can I do that ends this malaise and sends me back out into the world? Can't seem to pierce the mists that surround me. I'm wrapped in the fog of a new year and I don't see a pathway.
