I’m slowly emerging from New Years hibernation and a trip to Greece. I’ve shaved three weeks of itchy beard and am awaiting the caffeine pills to kick in so that I can get started on cleaning the apartment. It’s a new year but the dust is old, so that will have to go.
Philip Seamor Hofman was at my age when he died of an overdose ten years ago. He seems so old and wise in the movies, that I never considered him so young (relatively speaking). Fantastic actor, and it’s inspiring to know how far dedication can take you by my age – and it’s also inspiring a realisation that I’m no PSH. Both inspirations are a guiding star for the coming year: I hope to do something meaningful this year – for myself and for others, both.
