… for a long time.

An extensive, four-day holiday weekend. Too much time can be as debilitating as too little. I did not run yesterday, no, because I must, must rest between runs. 

My knees hurt when I am on my feet for too long, something which happens more often than I realize. The past two days, my ankles have also been complaining, they will also require special attention.

Distance: 3.1 miles
Duration: 28:22

Seen a lot of movies this weekend, which was not my plan. It's part of my "open nest" plan, however, to catch up on all those movies I have always told myself I should see, but never have. The Coen Brothers' first film, Blood Simple (1984), Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin (2013), Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957), and Vera Drew's The People's Joker (2022).

Best of all, the thing I was most concerned about, was returning to the Ur-text, the script that started it all, Cleveland Centennial! It's been left in a creative limbo and I was recently, perhaps due to the impending collapse of the Republic, motivated to create a final, appropriate, complete rendition of the text. A ninety-minute Living Newspaper, full-stop.
