Up at 4:30, racquetball from 5-6:45, then home to write from 8-4. I continued work on ch. 12 of La Strav, bringing in all the details I could think of to capture Venice and Vivaldi. I watched the Women of Vivaldi documentary I'd seen over the summer, this time observing the location of the Ospedale della Pieta. It's now the Metropole Hotel and looks the same from the outside as it did in Vivaldi's day.
After 4, I took a break from writing at went to a matinee showing of Creed at the Grand Lake Theater. I'd heard a lot of buzz about this film and wanted to check it out for myself. The buzz is accurate and I have a feeling Sylvester Stallone will win a much-deserved Best Supporting Actor oscar for his enduring portrayal of Rocky Balboa. Creed is excellent. The direction is first rate and Michael B. Jordan as young Adonis Johnson, Creed's illegitimate son, is convincing. I really enjoyed this film and applaud the awards and acclaim it will receive.
