PD dance class and weight training session today. It was a push but it felt good.

Slept well last night. Dreamed that I was in a cabin on a river or bay. We had come there to fish. I was with several people from the men's group. I had fished the area before and knew how to rig up for the fish there. In one part of the dream, I was standing on the shore and I could see large fish moving about in the water. No one caught a fish though. We just stood around and enjoyed the peacefulness of the place.

Making my way through an epic Hungarian film (7 hours) called Satantango. The director uses lengthy shots (average scene is 150 seconds--he has a 10 minute scene in this film), great b/w segments, crystal sounds, and not a lot of words. The result is mesmerizing and engaging. I still have about 1/3 of the film to go. Will see how it ends.

Congress (the Senate) passed the debt ceiling bill and the Prez signed it into law. Thank goodness that's done, for now. Guess I'll get a SS check next week. But I know the Republicans (aka the tea party) will try again to take from the poor and give to the rich--no matter what the consequences.
