010808 - This morn I awoke to the fresh memory of a dream, reviewing the basic outline in my head before opening my eyes. I’d just read an an article about SV which described her shooting baskets with a Denver Nuggets ball during the interview. I was leaning over the rubbish bin in a tube station, reading the piece, when SV finally appeared to meet me at the scheduled time. It was wonderful to see her… I asked excitedly, “S, do you know the Denver Nuggets?” She gave a quizzical look, cocked her head to one side, and smiled, answering: “Nooo.” This set me back quite a bit, and after one or two other quick, kind, yet dismissive statements, she departed, offering a sprightly ‘Goodbye’ and disappearing into the tunnelway. I’d misused my chance, and realized it was gone. I cried right there. I almost wrote to tell her the dream, but thought the better of it. Another good day in Park City! The setup in the room is still improving, and it was great to hear JP booming through the speakers with the daily instructions from Cape Cod. Last night I bought a pass to the Ocean Film Festival, and was excited to see ????????Saving Luna in the program, as I’d suggested this match to the filmmakers months ago. There’s another orca movie from France playing, shot in South Africa. With the pass I’ll be on a two day viewing marathon, and the very thought made my buttocks and shoulders sore in anticipation of full days submerged in the seat. Later, I made a little trek into the snowy streets of the neighborhood, crossing under the freeway to the grocery store, there stocking up on greens, pasta sauce, and the rest. I asked the checker how people made it through the winter out here before imports, and he gave an excellent answer, mentioning sealable jars, and that crops like squash were stored in wax. Beef jerky was a staple throughout the winter. Walking home while pushing a full cart through the snow proved a good wind for me, and a good laugh for those who drove by. I then rolled it back empty to return it, and jogged home. So far I’ve been able to hone in on my daily goals, and it seems to get easier even after only one week.
