As impossible as it may seem, I have done practically nothing over these past 24 hours. Even by my low standards, that’s quite the accomplishment. Here’s the rundown:
I attended a birthday party yesterday afternoon. It was a Filipina’s party and that meant lots of food and drinks and laughing brown-skinned beauties. I hung out with the guys and enjoyed some nice chats and copious amounts of beer. Drunk when I got back home and in bed before 9:00 p.m. As usual.
Didn’t feel like doing the Friday hike today, so I didn’t. I’m going to cut myself some slack and listen to my body more. I feel tired a lot so maybe I should rest more. Of course, my good intentions for doing something productive went by the wayside as well. I had thought about checking out a medical clinic here in Barretto this morning, but I took a nap instead.
When I got up I watched a couple more installments of Lonesome Dove. Damn, it’s a well-done show. Almost as good as the book. Thinking about that reminded me of when I used to be a rather voracious reader. These days I barely have the attention span to get through an interesting article I find on the internet. Still, two 90 minute episodes of a show I’ve seen before is something of an accomplishment I suppose.
I got a message from one of the gals at Cheap Charlies asking where I’ve been. Guess that means it is time to pay them a visit again. That should take care of my Friday night at least.
I hope to be back to normal soon!
Still seems like a pretty full day for “nothing,” so maybe we should count that as a win.
I’ve never seen a single episode of “Lonesome Dove.” I gather you recommend it.
Yes, Lonesome Dove is not your typical Western. The story revolves around a never previously attempted cattle drive to Montana and the people trying to make that happen, led by two former Texas Rangers. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones head an outstanding cast. It is based on the novel by Larry McMurtry and the series stays pretty much true to the book. Best of all, you can watch it for free on YouTube.
