Th 10/18/18

Up 630am, but reading 'THE STONE THAT NEVER CAME DOWN' on the phone 430am. Frost early, sunny and to 60 later.

Added some more material- movies/ TV- to Amazon Prime.

Watched 'HARRY BROWN' (Michael Caine/ Emily Mortimer)- Amazon Prime. Michael Caine plays a single, old man living on a council estate sixty miles northeast of London. Teenage gangs control the housing complex, and when his only friend is killed by punks, he takes revenge. Similar to almost anything done by Charles Bronson thirty years ago. Not bad.

Then, episode #1 of 'THE ROMANOFFS' (Amazon Prime). A very stylish and sweet tale of an exquisite apartment in Paris. The matriarch lives there and her nephew and his girlfriend hope to inherit- but a beautiful Muslim caregiver changes everything. Can't wait for the next in the series. They're all independent story-lines, and the only connection is that some of the characters are related to The Romanoffs (last Russian Royal Family).

Began 'THE ROUND HOUSE' (October Book Club Selection) and then drove to FitClub West at 130pm.
45" Octane (The Pixies-TROMP LE MONDE). 45" Walk (TV all workout). 45" Recumbent Bike. 45" Cross. 30" Old Style Cross. Legs/ Biceps/ Chest.
Home to mow the center section of the back lawn. I had only a partial tank and I wanted to run out the fuel- I did; it ended just as I finished the last strip, although the engine took a long time to start.

In the tub for more of 'THE ROUND HOUSE' and The Chesterfield Kings).
'STEVEN TYLER- OUT ON A LIMB' (Netflix), and then a couple of clips from, 'THE NEW YORKER' (Amazon Prime).

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).
