Awake: 6:05am Temp 40
sleep 6+10 cold &
windy overnight @ Nicktown.
After our
Koffee Klub meeting, which went into overtime, we returned to our warm motorcoach
& stayed indoors until late afternoon. In early afternoon, Nick Skyped us
for a record 1 hr & 20 min. Yes, we had a lot to talk about regarding his recent business
travel to the French Quarters in New Orleans;
the purchase of Isilon by EMC; using an architect, the changes he wants to make
on the house; a part business, part holiday trip to Hawaii
with the family, etc.
After that great discussion, K & I attended vigil
Mass @ Nicktown &, afterwards, John, Theresa, Bill, Kathy & I congregated
@ the Nicktown Bar & enjoyed some beer with pizza & a lot of good
chit-chat.
After that, K & I returned to our motorhome & finished
watching the movie: "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, Martin
Balsam, Richard Mulligan, Chief Dan George, Jeff Corey, etc. Sprawling superb
filmization of Thomas Berger's novel about Jack Crabb, 121-year -old man who reminisces
about his life as young pioneer, adopted Indian, drinking pal of Wild Bill
Hickok, medicine-show hustler, and survivor of Custer's Last Stand. Rich humor,
colorful characterizations, moving tragedy are among ingredients, and they all click.
1970. WOW! Unbelievable; check it out.
Lights out: 1:04am.
