Tu 3/26/19

Up 710am; bright and sunny- to 50.

Wrote a 'Movie Wrap' and emailed it off.

The neighbors across the street are having their windows replaced by an outfit from Peoria. Checked the Internet and it looks like a real high price outfit.

Watched Netflix disc, 'MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS'  Fantastic film about the relationship between Elizabeth I, Queen of England, and Mary, Queen of Scotland. Not historically accurate, but even if the meeting between these two important historical characters never really happened, this gives a very plausible illustration of how it might have been. Absolutely beautiful set design, costumes, and locations- it's a real feast for the eyes.

While waiting for the lawn guy:

Then, 'ZIPPER' (Netflix)  A states attorney aspires for higher public office, but is caught up in an addiction to sexual escorts- hence the title; with Patrick Wilson/ Lena Headey/ Ray Winstone. Not bad- filmed in Baton Rouge, LA.

Mitch texted that he's on another job today, so we postponed till tomorrow- anytime before 2pm.

2pm- reading 'THE SILENT COMPANIONS', then to Wabash PO to buy a stamp for the life insurance claim and to mail the disc; Planet Fitness.

It now costs 55 cents to mail a letter. On the machines by 3pm. 45" Walk (WHITE DRAGON). 45" Recumbent Bike (skimming 'THE SILENT COMPANIONS'/ Motley Crue- Amazon Music). 45" Cross (WHITE DRAGON). 30" Walk (GIRLS). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Ted Danson).

Just as I was leaving Planet Fitness I got a text from Mitch saying he would be over tomorrow at 1145am. Perfect!

Home to read in the tub (skimming the book club selection) and listened to BONES AND THUGS; early Rap.

'THE MIAMI SHOWBAND MASSACRE' (Netflix)   In 1975 'The Miami Showband' (The Irish Beatles) were stopped at a Northern Ireland checkpoint,  a bomb exploded, and several band members died. It seems that security forces of Britain were involved in these killings, but the facts still have not been released.

Then, 'John Mellencamp- 'PLAIN SPOKEN' (Netflix)  A concert and he provides a voice-over about his roots; only watched about 20".

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...
