It got quite cool last night. I don’t know exactly what the temperature was, but I was forced to actually zip up my sleeping bag – which I hate doing – at some point during the night. I woke up at around 7:00 this morning, cleaned up my area and drank coffee for about an hour, and then made the trek back to Duluth, arriving home at about 11:00 this morning.
Didn’t do much between then and now, other than a couple of loads of laundry and a pile of dirty dishes. I also watched Let’s Make Love, which I’m pretty sure is the first Marilyn Monroe movie I’ve ever seen. I’ve decided to watch old movies for the next month or so – the ones that feature people that I’ve heard of but have never actually seen. On my list so far are named like Rudolph Valentino, Bette Davis, Montgomery Clift, Clifton Webb, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Carol Lombard.
I think I did see part of Mommy Dearest (that’s Crawford, right?), and I know that Gable was in Gone With the Wind – but that was such a horrible movie that I don’t think I can count it.

The band, it seems, is being officially invited to perform in Vermont this June. I am pleased by this, and I hope Bob doesn’t do anything to make it a disaster. I’d hoped that most of the band could get together at Cy’s place on Friday night, but Joe seems pretty intent on playing in Boston on Friday and – God knows why – having the band spend a day being touristy on Saturday.
Should that plan fly, I think I’ll probably drive to Boston for the Friday night gig and then either go back to Vermont or head for Canada for a couple of weeks. I’ve been to Boston. It’s a nice place. Historic, even. I just don’t know that I really want to spend a day there for anything other than the old cemetery – and I know I don’t want to pay for a hotel room anywhere near it.
Must grab some sleep now. I love hanging out in the woods, but I know I’m going to be a tired puppy at work tomorrow.
