11 p.m. Exhausted did a rather inadequate job on a drawing of a cadet. Young man named Dmitri, whose face was so tender that I struggled to tap into him enough to make the kind of mark on me so that I could really get a grip. No excuses… know exactly what I needed to do and kept at it but my back eventually gave out. A sweet woman, Irena came by and cooked a splendid meal that I thought would last for days but it was virtually all consumed by us and guests. Jimmy is really great as he tries to do the right thing by people.
