The reading of Earthly Power at the Block last night was brilliant. I am gratified by the impression the Lincoln plays seem to be making on their audience. The plays are better than I imagined them to be, and that is a testament coming from the author himself. Jack and DJ and I trundled over to Aloft for refreshment afterward. The burger was disappointing, but after a successful night of theater, how could it even be mentioned? Asheville can be lovely of a Saturday night. Gorgeous Richmond on the balcony with us.

Anemia hits again, after what I feel was two days of an ulcer incident, Hard to breathe roaming the streets last night. Hard to get up out of bed for more than a few hours at a time. Time to build back again– though it is the illness that feels kind of nice, sort of warm and watery, an excuse to lie back and draw the covers around you, nothing else to be done.
