Action Day 5 - Still Going Strong!

Today's lunch-time workout marked my 5th consecutive day of an organized physical activity, although yesterday's rugby run-about with 5 guys really didn't go that long (25 minutes?). I did work up a sweat. Uncle's knee seemed to be OK.

I haven't yet mentioned that on Sunday in addition to catching a good Fringe Play -- Humans Anonymous -- I also went with Amanda to the movies to catch the Al Gore documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". I tend to agree with the eye reviewer who commented that Gore is pretty mild-mannered and lacks the righteous anger to make the movie effective agit-prop. He won't be allowed anyway. The film presents a scary (and seemingly inevitable) scenario nonetheless - I only wish that the audience who will go to see it were the audience who ought to go see it. In the end, it likely fails to create the sufficient challenge for individuals (in North America) to alter their dangerous(?) everyday routine.

Takeways: Don't buy property in Florida unless it's in a dome. Learn to like the desert. Be prepared to watch footage of food riots. Oh, and take photos of songbirds now - the only birds your kids will know will likely be seagulls.
