PD dance and lifting those weights today! Almost slept late enough to miss dance class. Awoke at 9:50 for a 10:30 session. Had to move it to make it on time. Did so, barely! It was nice to sleep in though.

Got a card for LW signed and will mail it to him tomorrow. Couldn't help but notice people in class struggling today. Their symptoms are getting more pronounced and they don't seem to have any way to stop the slide. RG fell as we were leaving the afternoon class. He stumbled on the walkway from the building. We talked after he got up and settled down some. He said he was struggling; he was trying to stay active but it was becoming more and more difficult to do so. Makes me want to do something to help people who are having that struggle going on. Don't know how but feel like I should be doing something--other than marking the days until I become one of the strugglers as well. Will sleep on it! Let my dreams reveal what I might do!

Watched and intense film this evening--Rite. It's a film about exorcism. It's based on actual events where a novice clergyman learns from an experienced practitioner what to expect/do to cast out the evil spirits. The two priests depicted in the film are currently in churches in the U.S. Anthony Hopkins plays the older priest who becomes possessed. He goes through a metamorphosis of good priest to being possessed with convincing makeup changes and a pounding sound track. Hopkins really does strange parts well--he is eeriness itself!

Gait and balance tomorrow! My DSL is still acting up! After much gyration I did manage to watch the Good Wife episode for the week, but it was sometimes tedious to wait for the pixels to make it through. Have to get on with getting a new collection of hardware. Hate to deal with it all but will have to do so soon before my old stuff stops working completely.
