(1) Finally got on to G-Mail for the first time since I've had the new computer. It was an unusual ordeal trying to get the Google bots to believe me, but it all worked out in the end.
(2) Ran for the first time in one entire week, being as I'd been down with that flu. Did the whole 3.4 mile course at a slow steady pace in the cool cloudy weather, and felt a pleasant fatigue at the end of the day.
(3) Though both my therapist and my recovery coach were out with the flu last week, I had a very rewarding chat with Suzy, the therapist lady who brings in the home-cooked meals on Friday. Curious about the eccentricities of a friend of mine, she explained it as autism, and also explained why. Now I know more than I did before the conversation, both about autism, and about how better to communicate with my friend.
(4) There's always work do be done on Eden in Babylon, getting it ready for a production next year. I've been working with a smart playwriting lady, and Draft 6-L is now posted. Also progress is being made on scoring the performance track for "Midnight Screams," including the lengthy brisk intro you've probably never heard. Finally, four out of the seventeen Actors needed have made commitments, and are precast in their logical roles. There's a sense of momentum, as the show is slowly and steadily being built.
(5) Heard from Michelle, who was our church music director before she got a teaching job down in Boise. She's doing well and says she really misses me. It's a great feeling to have made a positive impact in a young musician's life.
