Back at You

Well, yesterday was sure tough.  As I mentioned, my back went out which it does on occasion, though thankfully not often -- every few years or so.  But this was one of the worst.  Usually it just lays me up for a few hours, and Iie comfortably on the bed or floor until I get the All's Well signal.  This time, even when lying down it was on-and-off excruciating and lasted probably 9-1/2 hours.  Finally, by about six o'clock and I could tell things had eased up, and I was beginning to feel comfortable though sore.  Happily, this is Bowl Season, so ESPN had three games back-to-back (no pun intended).  So, I just lay on the floor in my living room for most of the day and watched football all day into the evening.  I had my book with me, as well, and a phone and my notebook computer -- though I didn't feel much like writing, however I did check email occasionally.

But things are better this morning.  Still a bit sore, but much better and mobile.  It tightened up a little during the night, but that's gone.  I don't know if this is insanely stupid (I know it's not the smartest thing to try...), but the Writers Guild is showing "The Wolf of Wall Street," and I plan to drive over to see the morning screening -- that's 2:45.  If you don't hear
