Mo 2/5/18

Up 645am; Gray and frigid; temps near single digits and high teens all day and snow is in the forecast for tonight. Just an inch or snow, but when it's this cold it will be icy and dicey. 

Still lame with the cold and this morning I awoke with back pains. I have just started using the back machine at Planet Fitness and I hope that this is the reason for the discomfort. 

Since I started Truman Capote's first novel, OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS yesterday, it seemed only 'right' that I stream CAPOTE this morning. Seymour Philip Hoffman's performance was sensational, and although I'd seen this before, it was most definitely worth a second viewing. 

Heated up the Accord and on the road to the 11am appointment at the Orthotics Joint on Iles by 1040am. Had to wait a bit in the drafty office, and it didn't take long for the guy to fit the shoe insert. But, the secretary had left for a break and the therapist had no idea who to operate their computer system. Took far too long for the privilege of paying $150.

1130am at Planet Fitness for an abbreviated workout. 40" Walk. 3.8/0. 40" Recumbent Bike (OTHER VOICES...). 40" Cross. 30" Bike. 

Stocks fell over a thousand points today, but the word on the street is that the outlook is still upbeat. All this talk of wage increases and bonuses (Free Money) has got the Free Market Folks pissing in their panties. Time to rein things back a bit say the fat cats. 

Spent $69 at Shop and Save on Wabash. I didn't really need the groceries, but might as well get them before the bad weather hits. 

Reading on the couch from 3pm- 520pm, and then in the tub for a new novel about mob/ labor issues in NYC Chinatown in the 90's, and listened to a tape of Live Stones that I don't think I'd ever heard (at least in twenty years). 

Netflix SWING STATE for tonight. Fairly accurate 'right bashing' that was easy for me to take, but I suppose offensive to the 'fair and balanced crowd'/ 2 plus 2 is five.....

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...
