The big hit at the movies this weekend--a talking bear! They even named it Ted! No mention of its precursor--Teddy Ruxpin. Ted looks like an obese version of Teddy. What comes around has already been around!

I felt tired nearly all day. I tried to get up and out for a while, but ended up napping when I got back. Despite all the iron tablets I'm taking, my energy levels don't seem to increase. Will head over to the PD center for the new Core and More class. Will see if that fosters a bump in the energy meter. From what little evidence I can glean from my weekly regimens not doing much on the weekends is not helpful. More and More!

Watched a French film this afternoon--Man on the Train. The film has also been done more recently but probably not as well as the original. The French film is well done. It involves two men who meet by chance in a small village. One is a local teacher. The other is a criminal who has come to the town to rob a bank. They are alike and unalike in a variety of ways, but manage to influence each other in various ways. The film is a study in personalities and what happens when they form a bond even though they are strangers. The film ends in a typical French fashion--somewhat mysteriously and with not everything explained. In their last scenes, the men get to imagine what their lives might be like if they could have exchanged places. The more recent remake wouldn't seem to add much to the story since the identical plot points are done in English rather than French.

Ho, ho, ho! And away we go! Talking bears, indeed!
