Squash Presents: Volver

Last night, I finally was able to attend Squash Presents Night.  We watched Penelope Cruz (Volver) projected on a squash court wall.  And it was awesome.

We were with a few new people -- Gervacio from Argentina, Cesar and Liza of the Boat Club, and Nelson, a Cuban-American I danced some Eastcoast swing with.  

The Manila Boat Club is a pearl hidden in the thick of Pandacan, beside the muck of the Pasig River.  The building is charming -- bahay na bato / American -- and has not been renovated since it was built in 1832.  The socio-anthropologist in me was reawakened and I want to join in a restoration effort -- even if I've no money, really.  

Work has been weighing me down -- not because I've been swamped, but because I've been trying to find the meaning in what I do from day-to-day.  And it's complicated.

I needed a break.  And I need more breaks in between.

More coherent post later, maybe.  Distracted.
