Resistance training class got bigger today! All the classes are getting fuller as more and more people learn of their existence. The demand goes on! Cool today even in the class--several people kept their jackets on throughout. It's supposed to warm up some tomorrow and over the weekend. That would be nice! I slept with the heater running last night and will do the same tonight. Slept well! Tomorrow is laundry day. Keep on pumping! Keep on thumping! Let the soap suds go on lumping! Let the dryers go on slumping! And the clothes will be so clean!

What am I writing about? Nada, nothing, nil! The emptiness of words--the silence of old thoughts! Dreamed last night (in the warmth of the heater) but don't recall the details. I lost the details as I awoke (several times).

Watched a German movie this evening--Vision. It's about the life of Hildegard von Bingen, a nun who challenged the rules and rulings of a male-dominated church. She was an artist, poet, composer, and willing to take on the church where she thought it kept her order from growing and experimenting. She was a woman ahead of her time (by a few centuries) who nevertheless left her mark on the events and factions of those days. The film was somewhat disappointing in that it focused more on her battles with the church elements and said not much about her music, art, healings, visions, and so much more. I've always thought that a movie about Hildegard with Meryl Streep as von Bingen would be a wonderful work. Before my bout with PD was initiated I had often thought of possibly writing such a script--of going to Germany to research the places where she lived and worked. I'm sure someone who can do such a project has it on their to-do list. Oh, well! Next time around!
