Just saw Men of Honor, with Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Okay, so this is another "based on a real story" movie that very likely bears little resemblance to the real tale. Nonetheless, I found it uplifting. (So, it would appear you don't mind being manipulated if it inspires and uplifts you, eh? Interesting point.)
On a more mundane note, the day passed quickly. I spent way too long trying to get into the translation (finding dictionaries, electronic glossaries, etc.), and then got side-tracked with invitations to go for a walk (yes, yes!), and then, later, to watch the movie.
In the end, I got between a quarter and a third of the translation done and did get some PHP work done, too.
The festivities at the neighbor's house are tomorrow, I am told. (Either that, or we missed them today.) Gotta get the translation done for Tuesday morning, when it all starts again.
Cheers...

Two for two on the evening. (Sigh.)
Sorry if I sounded snappish.
