What went well today:

• Weather--again spectacular clearness and cooling breezes.
• Awoke early and got ready to get out and about as the day unfurled.
• Went to the H's and read the second chapter of Flaubert's Parrot. It is a brilliant piece of fiction--cleverly plotted and exquisitely done. Lots of humor but with foretastes of darker things to come. The prose contains many memorable excerpts and quotable materials.
• Watched a noir film Blast of Silence. It's a short mystery/thriller that follows the actions of a gangster who is beginning to have second thoughts about what he does. He wrestles with his doubts as the inexorable action continues, leading to a more than likely bad end.
• Dreamed about being with a group of people who were somehow not exactly real. I don't recall the dream details, but the mood of the dream was strange and eerie.
  
• No PD dance class tomorrow. Can sleep as much as I can sleep.
• Supposed to rain quite a bit. That will be refreshing.
• It's quiet now. Still and quiet! As if the world has fallen into a reverie and the night wraps itself around everything.
