Cooler again! And so much better! Dance and weight training classes tomorrow. Feeling a bit antsy today. Didn't really do much of significance. Life goes on! Went to the H's this afternoon and read aloud from the Museum of Lost Wonder. It went over the history of museums--how they were started and how they spread throughout Europe and the world. Interesting stuff!

Watched a somewhat didactic Russian film tonight--The Cranes Are Flying. It is a love story set in the time of WW2. The film experiments with a variety of montage and film-over-film effects. The repetition of the effects becomes tiresome after a while and does not add much to the plot or action. There are a lot of good closeup shots, but overall the film is claustrophobic and blunted. I'd not spend a lot of time or effort in seeing it again.

Will setup an appointment to get the truck serviced on Wednesday. No classes that day so they can have the vehicle for the whole day (and the next) if needed. Will get its annual checkup! Will make me feel more comfortable knowing that it has been serviced.
