- Speaking of pain, Mercy Medical Center is offering a free lecture on the Origin of Hip Pain on March 10. The talk and question-and-answer session will be led by Dr. Shawn Brubaker, a specialist in hip and knee replacement. The 6:30 p.m. event will be at Mercy’s lower level auditorium.

- What I’m Reading: “Once Were Cops” by one of my favorite crime novelists, Ken Bruen. This fast-paced story, written in Bruen’s trademark staccato style, features an Irish cop who’s also a compulsive killer. Wowza.
- DVD I Watched on the Treadmill: “On the Beach,” the classic 1959 film about survivors of a nuclear holocaust. It stars Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner, two great actors, but I found the pace slow and the script preachy.
