No running today, as it's a rest day. But did a bit of cycling at the gym and lots of free weights. I'm too hungry to post anything of note here.

Except to say: If there's one movie to watch, it's Syriana. George Clooney was excellent in it, as were the other actors.

E. and I saw the film last night. It blew me away - although the man next to me wasn't as impressed. He was asleep, and snoring lightly. Apparently, he was expecting a shoot-'em-up thriller with lots of technicolor explosions.

The movie adeptly weaved a web of lies, deceit, and corruption in which all of us are complicit ... all for cheap gasoline.

My camera works again! I recently received my camera from the Canon factory store - where E. sent it for emergency surgery.


Here's a photo of me on my way to the first of a series of holiday parties. Do I look thrilled, or what?! Don't answer that.
