Yesterday on the cross-trainer at the Y I broke my old mile record, at 9 minutes 30 seconds. Molasses, I know, but blue blazes for me.

Summary of the past week: Merce Cunningham is dead; Michael resigns as Cantaria director.

Jason and Richmond and I have lunch at the new café under my old digs at the Railside.

Working on the Black Mountain piece. The thing that strikes me is that the faculty and visitors at Black Mountain College were far more significant and accomplished than the students. What does this say about the kind of education it offered?
