It wasn't so easy getting out of bed this morning. Last night I'd gone out to the old Prytania Theatre, the only remaining single-screen theatre in the entire state, with a couple of the neighbors to see "There Will be Blood." I hadn't been there in a decade at least, so it was fun to be there again. I remember watching a lot of movies there - everything from Scifi to Woody Allen - and would have liked to visit the balcony but we didn't realize it was still open (or even there) until we were already seated. Anyway, watching a long movie like that wouldn't usually wear me out, however doing so while continually sipping from contraband water bottles filled with wine that one of the neighbors had smuggled in did take its toll.
The weather today was pretty nice and John, Joe and I rolled out with temperatures just below 50F. We were quickly joined by Rob. It was a typical Friday pace, rarely exceeding 21 mph, with Rob spinning a low, low gear at around 120 rpm and everyone taking long steady pulls. As we were coming back we saw a rider stopped on the bike path across from the country club golf course looking intently up at a big bird in one of the trees along the river. It was a bald eagle! Although they are not unknown around here, it is really quite unusual to spot one. I stopped to take a photo, but of course it was much too far away for my little camera to deal with.

Yesterday around 5 pm, I saw him/her about a mile or so west of Colonial. Maybe he will stay awhile. Any Northshore rides Sunday?

so, is the movie good? still haven't had a chance to go see it. I was reluctantly drug to see Atonement the other day with the lady.
The movie was a bit too dark and depressing for my taste, although it was interesting for its cinematography. The entire script for the 3-hour movie probably fit on five pages.
