Wake — 1050 Bed — 0100 Chill. Dad + I dug through a lot of boxed-up kitchen stuff to outfit me for UI; we practically assembled a full kit out of things that hadn’t seen use in years. Finished “The Green Mile,” which maintained a surprising emotional heft with the death of John Coffey. Cooked a Mediterranean-style pilaf, which did not go over well, and some carrot-orange bread, which did. And read over 200 episodes of “Darths + Droids,” a takeoff on D+D and Star Wars handled with an effusive nerdy love for both subjects. Good to rest before back-to-back concerts!
