Sept 17 – Wed –
About noon, I got dressed + we went to Southgate Plaza – to Bank + to P.O. + then to “Your Host” for lunch. When I came out I said I felt like driving and I did – it was as if I had not been away from it for 11 months – To markets + then home.
In studio working on the Genesee Rd. picture which I think I shall call “Dusty Road in July” –
I was about to get out the “Farmhouse + Two Pines” picture when a coughing spasm started which ended ability for the day –
Dark + rainy – heavy at late P.M.
