Overall, I think that it was a decent NBN day.  There was some… oddness at work, but I left before I had a chance to find out what the outcome was.  There’s always tomorrow for that.

Tonight, I had dinner with and at Thai Garden.   Both the company and the food were very good.

After dinner, and I went to the new Century theatre in Midvale/Sandy/wherever it is… and saw Invincible.  It was a very good movie.  I take back any “Marky Mark and the Football Bunch” cracks I made about it.  While it was a “football movie,” it used football as a backdrop and not as the main focus of the film.  It was a character-driven movie… and the characters were not treated like caricatures.  You could understand their motivations and their personalities.  They experienced growth and development.  There was a good mixture of emotional content and humor.  The movie told the story of a man (Vince Papale), his family, his friends, and the way that he dealt with the challenges that life presented him.  Director Ericson Core did a good job of presenting a balanced film. Additionally, a s the movie was set in Philadephia in the mid-1970s, I found myself drawing parallels to Rocky and Rocky II on more than one occasion.  I definitely recommend this film.
