Sa 7/14/18

Up 630am; overcast and a fairly heavy shower moved through about 715am, and scattered showers predicted for today through Monday; today temps approaching 90.

Watched Netflix disc, 'WONDER BOYS' Although not completely faithful to the novel, the screenplay is a wonderful adaptation of the book's major themes, and makes for a fine film. One of my favorite sections of the novel, Grady and James Tripp's visit to Tripp's in-laws for the Passover dinner, is not in the movie, and relationship details between Grady and his wife, and Sara Gaskell and her husband are not fully explored. The screenplay is a 'tightened up' version of the novel, and it works well.

1115am; downstairs to read- it's just too humid! 
I watched the next two episodes of 'ENLIGHTENED' and began the next 'VEGAS', but decided to hit the road because FitClub South closes at six pm.
Dropped the disc at the Wabash PO and on the machines at 145pm. 45" Best Cross (something great on Amazon Music). 45" Recumbent Bike (read Allende). 45" Walk (DEADWOOD- Season 3). 45" Cross (2 episodes of Season 3 total). 25" Walk (finished 'DEADWOOD' and the interview with Will Ferrell).
The storms were really swirling around and I was sure that it was really going to hit...but, nothing really happened. We got basically a steady, gentle rain; still very humid. $56 at County Market- South 6th. 

Home to read upstairs and listen to Roger McGuinn/  Rolling Stones- 'NOW' and sip a 25 oz of Ice House.

 'BREAKING THE TABOO- THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR ON DRUGS' (Amazon Prime). Then, 'THE PERFECT CRIME' a bio doc on Amazon Prime about Leopold and Lowe- and Clarence Darrow. Asleep before it ended...

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...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
