C&M class was heavy duty today! Instructor put us through some intense exercises designed to build up muscles in the core section of the body. The core is sore! I'm amazed how some of the others manage to make it through the 1.5 hours of activity. We are on the floor for the most part but even so it is quite a bit of strenuous movement. I think she's planning a second class each week. Not sure how I'll make it there (depends on the day/time) but it would be good to have a 2nd session each week.

Hope the people on the East coast are starting to emerge from their ordeal. Looks like they are taking a pounding. I don't recall ever seeing such a storm over that area of the country. Guess it is a 1-in-a-100 year event (or at least 1-in-75 for me).

Watched a pleasing movie this evening--City Island. It's a Moliere-style story set in modern times. There is a dysfunctional family all of whom have secrets that the others are not supposed to know about. The film follows each of them as their secrets get unraveled and sorted through with no lasting scars or dissociations. It was more than a comedy--it was more of an emotional ride with the laughs coming naturally as the humanity of each came to the surface. Andy Garcia directed and starred in the piece--He did a good job of doing both. The family ensemble was well cast with several strong actors.

PD dance and resistance training in the morrow! Feeling, reeling, peeling for the bed!
