Movement class today! Was relaxing! I was tense going into the class but came out mellowed out a bit. Gave me the energy to begin the conversations regarding what exactly is my responsibility regarding MRDs (minimum required distributions). Seems that turning 70.5 triggers some requirements regarding IRAs. The initial foray to the financial people who carry one of my IRAs (I have two) got me kick started on the issue. I turn 70.5 next month and it all begins. Like all things that deal with tax codes, nothing is simple. I'm on my way!

Watched a Film Movement movie tonight called Choking Man. IT centered around an Hispanic young man who was extremely shy. It was a tight film that kept me going regarding how it was going to end. It kept flashing hints regarding possible resolutions with just about none of them happening. The plot kept jogging forward onto alternate paths. The cause of the boy's shyness was never explicitly detailed, but here too there were several possibilities that might be deduced. A young Asian woman carried the supporting role. She is the daughter of a famous Chinese actress. They starred together in the film Crouching Tigers. She was the brightness in the Choking Man film.

Where did this month go to? It seems that it was just the New Year and suddenly a month has passed. Acupressure, food and a movie in the morrow. A bit early to bed tonight. Can't take any more analysis of last night's Obama speech. The country seems filled with anxiety and people are blathering about, unhinged in many ways. Wars, earthquakes, cold waves and financial woes are filling the consciousness. The world needs a vacation!
