Highlights: A rather full and productive day. I was up early and walking by 7 AM. I met with Frank about the upcoming series of talks at the Forum and got some excellent feedback. In the afternoon, I put a long list of ideas and action items into motion. I stress-ate all day – badly – I think I'll try to reclaim some lost ground tomorrow. We met Matt at Aqui for dinner and saw "Heretic." We were very disappointed. It held the promise of a great cast and a foundational plot with pointedly powerful historical details I know well from researching religion's history. It could have been a far more intellectual "cat-and-mouse" thriller, but that was sacrificed to make room for gore, shock value, unnecessary violence and sadistic twists. Not my chalice of blood, so to speak.
