Slept in this morning and it felt good to do so! I just luxuriated in the bed until about noon. I got up then, showered and went out for a green tea latte. As I sat sipping my latte, I watched a couple of crows harass a red-tailed hawk. I've seen the crows do that before. They don't like it when the hawks hover and drift high above their domains. I don't know if the hawks ever turn the tables and grab a crowburger as it zooms past their slipstream.

It was cool last night and today. That coolness helped me stayed covered up and bundled as the day began. Supposed to be a bit cool tonight as well. Got my utility Eco-notice that I was once again #1 in the 100 low energy users in my neighborhood. I've garnered that honor for the past 6 months or so. My December standing will probably be a little lower since I've been running a heater when I've been home during the cooler times. I'd rather be warm than #1!

Watched an African film this evening--Viva Riva! Not sure how an African film got a Spanish title, but there it is. It's a intense film about crooks and con men who control some of the black market goods such as petrol. There are some territorial disputes over goods and girlfriends that result in a lot of action, violence, sex scenes, and intrigue. It is not always easy to watch, but the setting (Kinshasa) and the various camps involved keep things going. There is a short film by the director of Viva that details what happens when a man and his wife are diagnosed as carrying HIV. It details the cultural issues that have arisen by such diagnoses and the positive results of being able to get drugs for the illness.

C&M class tomorrow! Looking forward to going and beginning the week's regimens! Need to move and need to groove!
