Tu 2/19/19

Cloudy with temps to the mid thirties.

Watched 'WETLANDS' (Xfinity) Disgraced black detective takes a police gig near Atlantic City to be near his ex-wife and teenage daughter. Ex-wife's girlfriend is a drug dealer and mayhem ensues. Not bad.

called Emily to find out Joe's compensation for his work as executor. No real answer- we'll just have to wing it.

Watched a Netflix original from New Zealand called, 'THE BREAKER UPPERS'. Two women run a company that's designed to help people remove themselves from undesirable relationships. Similar in approach to such American ensembles as 'Second City', 'The Groundlings', and 'SNL'. Not Bad.

Noon- to County Market for the weekly shopping and on to the 'Y' for a workout. A couple of inches of snow and/or ice is due for late tonight and through tomorrow morning. Want to get the chores out of the way so travel tomorrow can be avoided if necessary.

Sixty bucks at County Market and on the machines at the 'Y' shortly before 1pm. 45" Walk ( Reality TV all workout). 45" Bike. 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

To the Running Center where I bought a pair of New Balance running shoes (bright orange) marked down from $100 to $70. I asked where the 'markdown table' was and the guy said that they now had a whole 'markdown room'. Hooray!!

Home to drink a beer and read the book about the 'Springfield White Mob Violence of 1908' and listened to Joe Henry.

In the tub to complete the book and listened to a tape of artists tributes to Doc Pomus.

Watched some videos about the 1908 violence on YouTube. "White Riot....I Wanna Riot", I don't think I can listen to this Clash song the same way again.

Then a video about Jim Morrison....grazing the Web.....

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...

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).
