Wow, did I wake up sore this morning. Between the stiffness in my right thigh from the old injury, the new stiffness in my left knee from that nasty abrasion, and the giant bruise on my ass from falling on it during hockey over the weekend, it was a long, sore walk down the stairway. I made a mental note that if I do happen to find a new house to buy, it had better be single storied.

I watched Lions for Lambs this evening, Robert Redford's film about the war in Iraq. I like Redford but I have to say this film just sort of laid there for me. Tom Cruise didn't have to stretch himself far to play self-serving, arrogant Senator Jasper Irving. The character sounded just like Cruise, but rambled on and on about the war rather than Scientology. It wasn't a horrible movie, but I think I'll continue my Tom Cruise boycott, which only got a momentary stay because of Redford.
