Well, after 5 full days of having the flu, Marcia and I are just starting to get our life back to together and enter what most people call “reality”. That was the single worst flu either of us has ever gotten, further, that’s also about the most sick I’ve ever felt, flu or no flu. it was intense. We’re still coughing, hacking etc… and for some reason, if I do anything but sit and watch movies, I sweat non-stop, yet, with no temperature. makes no sense, it in senses me…
On the flip side, with my uncle Tim in town to ply us with great old films we’ve been very diligent at making the most of our movie time. Films we’ve seen in the past few days: Lawrence of Arabia (excellent), The Night of the Hunter (brilliant best art-direction), Nights of Cabiria (Fellini’s best). and next on the menu: Contempt, The Leopard and The Bicycle Thief.
Over the past few days, between movies, we’ve slowly put the apartment back together and done a little spring cleaning and today is our first full day on the move.
I’ve finally got all 6,682 photos from the trip uploaded into Aperture and I’m ready to start editing….


“The Bicycle Thief” is beautiful. One of my film teachers in school would bring it up every class !!
