Today, I could feel the effects of yesterday's C&M class. I have all sorts of aches, pains, and muscles I didn't know I had. Despite all of the tightness and stiffness, I felt quite well today. Went through the resistance training this afternoon feeling fit and strong. Missed not having a PD dance class which would have helped ease the discomforts from yesterday, but can't have it all all of the time. Had a fairly well attended resistance training class. G&B class is on tomorrow's docket. Looking forward to another workout.

Watched an old SciFi movie this evening--Westworld. A campy film about an entertainment resort where clients get to interact with robots that appear to be real people. Of course, the robot system breaks down and the clients are subjected to real life threats by the renegade automatons. I think I may have seen the film a long time ago but it all seemed fairly new to me. The film was done in 1973 and the special effects pushed the envelope somewhat for the times. The film starred Yul Brynner as the rogue robot (precursor to the Terminator with Arnold Schwarzenegger??) The film's action also presaged the idea of a virus invading an electronic system and causing chaos. Also, how a virus might spread an infection and cause a pandemic.

It was a corny film but somewhat of an icon given the time and subject matter. Brynner's metallic contact lenses were a hoot! There have been discussions about a remake. We shall see when it appears!
