Up 6am and reading '361'- Donald Westlake 3-4am; sunny, calm, and bright; to mid 50's.

Wrote a response to Janny's email. Still wondering how she thinks that Joe could have been of any help- positive vibrations? 

Watched Netflix disc, 'LADY BIRD'. I liked this way more than I thought I would. My first guess was that it might have been Diablo Cody, but Greta Gerwig was a pleasant surprise. I'll watch '20TH CENTURY WOMAN' on Amazon Prime soon. Tracy Letts from 'THE LOVERS' as the girl's father was great, and of course, I just knew I'd seen him in something noteworthy, but couldn't place it. 

Watched the end of the bio-pic about John McAfee that I began last night. I can't believe that this evil knucklehead also ran for president in 2016, and almost made it as the Libertarian nominee. He's rich and powerful and lives to fuck with the media- so does Trump, so does Putin. Can't anybody use their immense power in a positive way?

Another episode of 'THE CHI' on Xfinity. Although this series contains elements of a police/ crime drama, it's more about the daily lives of people in a very specific neighborhood of Chicago. 

And, the last episode of Season 6 of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

Loaded the phone with more programming, to Planet Fitness; 2pm. 45" Walk 3.6/0. (GYPSY). 45" Recumbent Bike ('361'- D. Westlake). 45" Cross (EASTBOUND & DOWN). 45" Recumbent Bike (EASTBOUND/ HATERS BACK OFF). 30" Cross. (East/ HATERS). 

Home to soak for 1'20" and finished the Donald Westlake novel- bought for twenty-five cents and worth every hard-boiled penny of it!!/ CHIC).

45" Netflix doc. on Hitler's propaganda machine-not to interesting.
Went upstairs and had two bowls of 'cabbage/ oatmeal/ peanut butter delight', and listened to the entire Fresh Air interview with James Comey; "Trump morally unfit to be president", "he demands personal loyalty above all else". No respect for philosophy, religion, or anything larger than 'self'- with the possible exception of 'money'.
