Gait and balance class today. Felt good to be back in session. Big news is that both the doctor and I agree that there is no need for further GI work. Everything is sliding back to normal except perhaps even better than it was. My energy levels are up and I'm feeling more like myself in some odd way. Movement class tomorrow and so it goes.

Watched a movie tonight -- Focus. It was set in the 40s and was about racism and violence around those times. A man, who is not a Jew, marries a woman who is a Jew but not a practicing one. They both are pegged for being Jews and are marginalized in their neighborhood. The story is based on an Arthur Miller novel. It's a tense story starring William Macy and Laura Dern--a somewhat odd casting choice and an odd fated couple. An OK film but nothing spectacular.

Dreamed last night that I was in a war zone. I was encamped with a large number of soldiers. We were spread out along a ridge facing a force of opposing troops. We were separated by a huge flat area that was covered with small stones--a moraine of shiny black rocks. The opposing troops were firing off bursts in our general direction. We were too far apart for them to actually hit us with anything. I was there as an observer or news reporter. I was hunkered down behind a Humvee. The troops I was with were getting ready to make an assault on the other force's position. Everyone was running about, gathering gear, and checking out their weapons. I awoke before any battle began.
