BOOKCELLAR NOTES (3/13/03 THU):

CDs played today:
- Mildred Bailey THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA RECORDINGS OF...: Discs 1, 2 & 3 (Mosaic) - regrettable racist lyrics but reflective of the benighted times; we are so much more enlightened now.
- Tom Verlaine FLASH LIGHT (X-gau: A minus)

---Finally made it out for a run today. When I was bottling beer the other day I think I twisted my knee, so the leg felt kind of stiff. But that was not a great impediment once I got going. It bothers me going up or down stairs, but not running. After such a long lay-off I figured just to cover the 5-mile distance was enough. I will try to put a few days in a row together. Then when I have jury duty starting Monday, who knows what I will be able to do. There were still icy patches on the bike trail, but the temperaratures are gradually getting better. The snow is slowly disappearing. There were springtime bird songs in the woods today. And the geese are mobilizing for their northerly push.
---When I got to work down here I had to concentrate pretty fixedly on handling orders. The wolves are starting to howl!
