TranscriptSOLOWAY, 3 p.m.
Woke shortly after 2 a.m. Read for an hour – James’s “The Pupil” – then went back to bed & slept till 8. Finished “The Pupil” shortly before 11. Crippled John & his nephew came for yard work. First two hours spent cutting up a large fallen wild-cherry limb & stacking it on Parkway for pick-up. Then on to the overgrown ivy. Cooked hamburgers for dinner after going out for a 12-pack of beer. Read James’s “The Patagonia.” Soloway for six-month examination of prostate. Pronounced me hale, but there’s still the wait for blood-test results. |
