Gait and balance session today left me feeling like I'd done a lot of work. The sessions with the new instructor are definitely a workout. She's going to start a second class next Monday called Core and More. Will see what it's like!

Watched a really good movie tonight--Sexy Beast. The title doesn't exactly fit with the film's content. The story revolves around a man who's been a criminal but is now retired to Spain. One of his ex-partners looks him up and tries to persuade him to do another heist. The ex-partner is a sociopath played brilliantly by Ben Kingsley. The film is really well photographed and edited. The plot swings back and forth with the camera, revealing enough to keep the viewer guessing and scared about what comes next. Ray Winston plays the hapless foil against Kingsley's madman. The film has a really high rating on the Rotten Tomatoes site.

Dreamed that I was working on a hightech device with a group of people. I had made some suggestions regarding improvements that had not been carefully reviewed. I felt that I was relegated to a subordinate role on the project. Then, I discovered that the lead designer on the project was planning to turn in his resignation. I saw that as my opportunity to jump ahead and grab the lead design position. I carefully created a reason for my design proposal to appear on the VP's desk at about the same time that the lead designer submitted his resignation. I felt good about what I had done.
