Up early. Spent most of the morning reading N manuscripts, and drafting critiques. Took a small bit of time to look over edits made to one of my own stories, too. Hit the gym a little after 12:00 and put in the longest workout I’ve had since coming down with pneumonia. Felt pretty good, all in all.
Did some shopping at Poor Richard’s later in the afternoon, trying to find some small gifts for the boys. (Jack came home sick with the flu two days ago, and now it looks as if Matthew’s contracted it, too.) Found some miniature pinball games they can play in bed while recuperating.
Didn’t get out for a walk today, but that’s okay. Weather was kind of cool and overcast, and I was tired from working out, so I’ll turn in early tonight and try and make up for it tomorrow.
Nearly finished with Kidnapped. Fifty pages left. An entertaining read, for sure, and probably a good lead in to Treasure Island.
My buddy S turned me on to the movie The Wonder over the weekend. A powerful but restrained bit of writing. A single viewing isn’t going to do it.
