Ow

This has been my Equity-sanctioned “actors day off” from the play I’m rehearsing. We had dance rehearsals in the two previous days. I’m very sore.

The disconcerting thing is not knowing whether the advanced aches and pains I’m having are just the soreness I always used to get when I’d been out of condition for a while and got back to dancing . . . or whether — at my advanced age — this is a cause for x-rays and chiropractor visits.

I’m glad I have more wisdom now than I did at 20. Otherwise, this getting-older thing would just unabashedly suck.

    Times like that always make me think of the movie “Perfect” when John Travolta wakes up the morning after taking Jamie’s class and yells “I HAVE POLIO!!!”

    (Yes, I have dated myself and exposed my poor taste.)

    Ah, “Perfect” . . . John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. How much more sexual ambiguity could one ask for in a movie?
