Wednesday, January 1st [1986]

Slept late, past 10; First time in months, or maybe years. At midday Gwyn1 + I drove out East + had blackeye peas and pork (For New Year’s Day good luck) with Johnny + Debbie. First time I’ve seen his house.

Back home, watched VCR of “McCabe & Mrs Miller,” a longtime favorite made when Robert Altman was at his best. Afterwards we took a walk through Georgian woods; temperature just under 80 degrees, colder than yesterday but by no means as cold as it was all last week.

Dinner at house, Hugs2 + Gabriela, Gwyn + I; sautéed chicken breasts, pasta, + salad. Afterwards we watched a VCR of “Uns Stottel.” Not much, but not bad either.
Weight, 158: up seven pounds from when I left Ochsner in late November.
