Long day! It seemed to have lasted forever--possibly because I awoke early and got up rather than climbing back in bed. Went to the movement class and enjoyed the relaxing benefits of the activity. Lots of ambulance/emergency vehicle sirens today--all day it seemed--one just went past a few minutes ago.

Went to pick up a prescription and for some strange reason I couldn't be called up on the pharmacy's computer. My prescription was ready--I just wasn't in the computer. Strange! When I got home, I was able to call up my medical account so I haven't been erased from the clinic's system.

Picked up new books and DVDs. Went through a flushing/turning red session right after the movement class and I hadn't eaten anything since I had breakfast--about four or more hours prior to the end of the class. Hmmm! Commodity of oddity!

Watched a film this evening--Flags of Our Fathers. It's a film about the taking of Iwo Jima and the controversy surrounding who were the men who planted the U.S. flag at the summit. The image went onto the front pages all over the world and became an iconic reminder of the battle, the losses, and the effects on the war efforts. Clint Eastwood produced, directed, and wrote music for the film. It is a well done piece of work that shows the devastation that took place, but was a bit too matter of fact about events--both before and after the battle. It's a companion film to Iwo Jima (also by Eastwood) that portrays the battle from the perspectives of the Japanese soldiers. They make a nice bookend duet of that time and events.

Resistance training tomorrow plus a dental procedure--Fluoride Gum treatment. Don't have a clue as to what's involved--but will find out in the afternoon. Good Friday tomorrow! Maundy Thursday today!
