Yesterday

 

… marked a new record of steps walked. 414, to be exact, .017 miles. My lowest to date.

 

It rained all day long and I never left the house. 

 

I did answer every e-mail until I got to 0.

 

I watched the pianist Yuja Wang on Youtube and listened to Fred Hersch with Esperanza Spalding and then spent a couple of hours at the piano with a new feeling in my fingers. 

 

I cooked a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and watched Stephen Colbert with my wife, his monologue with way too much information about Groundhog’s Day. 

 

I almost went to a corner store to get noodles, but my wife Karen volunteered to go instead.

 

I cooked the noodles. With eggplant, red pepper, scallions and tofu.

 

We watched 2 ½ episodes of Shetland, Season 7 (a surprise find!). Popcorn was made.

 

This morning it’s still raining and I’ve walked 19 steps.

 

I really have to get out.
