Mo 11/18/19

Up 7am: Overcast and mostly cloudy with temps just over 40.

Watched 'ROSIE' (Hoopla) The film was a particularly harrowing look at a young Irish family who have been kicked out of their rental house and must find daily lodging in local hotels. Apparently they have a credit card from the city, but there are almost no places available for them to stay. At the start of the film it states that Ireland has the highest percentage of people living on the streets due to an abject shortage of affordable housing. The husband has a job, and the mother must get three children back and forth to school, watch one girl under school age, and try and find housing for the night. Shocking and depressing, yet all of the performances were top notch.

Tried to call back Dr. Ellison's office on a missed call this morning. Still waiting and probably involves the results of the blood test that I took after the Wellness Visit.

Then, 'CLARENCE CLEMONS: WHO DO I THINK I AM? An unabashed valentine to Springsteen's legendary sax player. It's so overwhelmingly positive that it almost comes off as a cover-up.  A glowing tribute without a single wart can only mean that many things were left out (he was married five times, for instance) because not even saints are this saintly.

1230pm: PC 'Off' and will read for an hour or so, get the car washed at Green, and then on to the 'Y' for the workout.

I drove to Green and when I pulled up to the door there was a sign saying that the car wash was closed for the day. Will try tomorrow.

On the machines at the 'Y' by 2pm. Walk (YouTube True Crime- A woman works as a stripper in Alaska and charms two men. One is found dead, and eight years later she is married to a doctor and has gotten a Masters degree,and she is sentenced to 99 years for orchestrating the murder.). 45" Recumbent Bike (Alaska Murder). 45" Cross (THE FINAL 24 HRS OF JOHN BELUSHI). 30" Walk (BELUSHI). 30" Cross (TV).

In the middle of the workout I got through to Dr. Ellison's office and learned that all of my tests were OK!!!

Home to read downstairs and listen to the speaker bar- THE TEMPLE OF SOUL for about an hour.
Then in the tub with more Western Adventure and ELTON JOHN  and  NOEL GALLAGHER.

The next episode of 'BREAKING BAD' Season 3 (Netflix). Then watched a couple of YouTube videos about the series,  'BREAKING BAD'. Some YouTube videos about Cormac McCarthy, and an especially insightful review of ,  'BLOOD MERIDIAN'.
