Tested negative yesterday. How long was I contagious? Anyway, running Sunday was a risk, I guess. Big sweat, exhausting, also restorative. I feel mostly good.
Just in time for residency rehearsals. Well done.

Without question, this is the very best album by The Police. Okay, really, I have no idea what's their best. However, I can say that this one has no skips, which is rare for any album for running.

Well, almost. I skipped "Invisible Sun." It is a bit downbeat, emotionally.
A friend who sat in front of me in history class wrote the words "spiritus mundi" on my brown paper book cover a day or so before he shot himself. This was in late 1984. I do not know where he learned that phrase, I knew it from the opening track of Synchronicity.
I was brought before the guidance counselor, to ask if he had given any sign, any indication. I thought they were blaming me, they fucked that up, big time. I did not tell them about his message. It wouldn't have done them any good, anyone any good, but it scarred me.
I also used the opening track of this album for an English paper my senior year, as I compared lyrics to the plot of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I got an A.
My wife translated the lyrics from "Hungry For You (j'aurais toujours faim de toi)" for her French class. They are pretty hot.
No sleep to nightI want youUntil I’m thirstyBut our bodies are all wetCompletely covered in sweatWe clean ourselves in the tideI have no desireYou have broken my heartAnd me, I’ve drank your bloodBut we can do what we wantI’ll always be hungry for you
And so on. She also put the song on her first mixtape to me, this is why we are still together. I think she also got an A, but I gave her the big D.
Stretches: yes

I drove to Florida on my own in Spring 1989, to see both of my grandfathers, and my ex-lover. One of my grandfathers was dying, visiting him was very challenging. So was seeing the young woman, it was the end of the road for us. "Secret Journey" was on a mixtape I had made for the drive, for myself.
You will see light in the darknessYou will make some sense of thisWhen you've made your secret journeyYou will find this love you miss
I wish I still had that tape.
Planks: TBA
Push-ups: TBA
It's not my favorite Police album, it's not. But it may be their very best.
