We 8/28/19- Contemporary Book Club at 6pm.

Up 730am; sunny and beautiful- to only 79!

Watched '66 & NOWHERE' (Amazon Prime)  Another strong Independent, but maybe bit too confusing.
...."On the run from the Chicago Mob, a down on his luck trumpet player hitchhiking to Hollywood falls into murder, money and mayhem with a mysterious femme fatale."  The ending was completely off base. An attempt to link this film to 'Chili Palmer' of 'GET SHORTY'??? Then the credits roll, and a random video where the 'femme fatale' is seen meeting with the killer a year earlier. But, the bluesy-jazz soundtrack was honestly superior.

1120am: began scanning the net about 'A GENTLEMAN FROM MOSCOW'.
120pm: In the Elantra to FitClub West, and then to the meeting.

45" Octane (SEVEN MOONS). 45" Walk (Reality TV). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Old Style Cross. 10" Recumbent Bike. Whirlpool/ Pool Lap.

*****Bluetooth connection from phone to car doesn't work. Will have to drive to the dealer tomorrow. I must get this back....whatever it takes!!

Only a handful to the meeting, but one new girl. 'The Church Lady' and I were the only ones who loved the book. Lukewarm reception and a lot of people didn't come. Maybe they didn't come because they didn't like it or didn't finish it.

Stopped at County Market/ Fairhills for a fifteen pack. Then watched, 'INTERSTATE 60: EPISODE FROM THE ROAD' (Amazon Prime) O.W. Grant (Gary Oldman) is an American 'spirit' who grants wishes. A young man is given a package to deliver and a chance to find true love. A rather weak premise with a star-studded cast; James Marsden (DEAD TO ME), Michael J. Fox, Christopher Loyd, Chris Cooper, Kurt Russell, Ann-Margret.

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).
