Fr 5/24/19

Up 615am; mostly sunny- to upper 80's.

Received Janny's life insurance check from MetLife and the plan is to bike to 19th and drop it in their mailbox if they aren't home.

Watched 'WINE COUNTRY' (Netflix)
'HUNGOVER' for middle aged women. Female friends go to a winery in Napa Valley for a "Five-Oh" Birthday Bash, and truths are revealed. Kind of a cliche, but some very funny moments.

aThen, 'IN THE ELECTRIC MIST' (Amazon Prime) Tommy Lee Jones as Dave Robicheaux, and Kelly McDonald/ Peter Sarsgaard/ John Goodman/ Levon Helm/ Buddy Guy/ John Sayles. A serial killer is working the bayou while a film company is shooting a civil war movie. Any thing by James lee Burke is alright with me.

1210pm: on the bike to deliver the check to The Brandenburgs.

Arrived about 1pm and I had brought the paperwork for my share of the old man's last pension payment. This is different from his last social security payment. Joe had the same multi-page form that they had filled out for Janny in March (3/19: his birthday).

I biked back Lincoln to Washington and then to FitClub West. I went to 19th via Fayette/ Lincoln/ the usual.

45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk.

Home to head to the County Market/ Fairhills for the grocery shopping; $60. Then, home to read downstairs for about an hour; Dean Koontz/ Live 'X'.

Then in the tub with more horror and The Tedeschi Band/ 'BLEACH'- Nirvana.

'HYPE!'-  A doc about the Seattle Grunge Scene of the early 90's. About what you would expect, and featured many of the original bands that never made it beyond the very local scene before 'Grunge'  became such a massive cultural influence. Then an episode of  'STREET FOOD' (Netflix).

"Seattle...is currently to the rock'n'roll world what Bethlehem was to Christianity". (1992- from SPIN Magazine).

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).
