Knackered!

I’m back from my annual musical get-together on Star Island, but am in no shape for writing just yet. It was a fantastic weekend — we spent the days working out the more difficult material, and hosted performances/parties for all the other guests on the island every night into the wee hours — but after four nights of going to bed at 2:30 a.m. and getting up at 8 or so for breakfast (not to mention liberal consumption of adult beverages every evening), I was completely exhausted, and ended up coming down with a nasty chest cold during a long day of travel yesterday.

I’ll be back in harness in a day or two.

    Well Malcolm when you do manage to recover (and do take your time, well earned in my opinion) Some thing seems to be making the rounds, an illness of a kind we, over here, I think we noticed earlier than they.

    Heed the comments:

    Malcolm, those late nights and intoxicating libations are for young people you know!

    Robert, though I suspect you are right, of course, I’ll quote Dylan Thomas:

    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    It was well worth it.
