And it gets colder and colder! And will be more so as the weekend unfolds! It was actually chilly in the resistance training class today, chilly and lots of people. Many people braved the weather and came to class. It was in the low 30s last night. Will be the same or lower tonight and tomorrow night. Maybe the same on Sunday. Oh, well! Will just bundle up and run the heaters. Just got December's utility bill and it was up compared to November. January will probably set a record.

Watched a French film this evening--The Class. It's a documentary-like film done in an actual classroom in a mixed race French community. The class was like the UN in terms of the students who appeared in the film. The film was done very naturalistically letting the kids express themselves each in their own way. It was Blackboard Jungle brought up to date with the times and what today's kids know, and say, and do. It was a rough and tumble collection of scenes (nearly all done in the classroom or a teacher's lounge) that focused on the kids faces and how they interacted with the teacher.

Laundry day tomorrow along with the cool, cool day! Resistance training went well today--it actually helped unkink some tight spots I'd accumulated over the week. As I ate lunch (sandwich and soup) I had a short interlude of feeling joyful as I munched my lunch. I just had a short period of time that I felt whole and hopeful. Why and where it came from I'm not sure. Maybe it was the warm soup! It was very pleasant.
