Th 7/28/19- THANKSGIVING

Up 745am: Cloudy, calm, and some drizzle by late afternoon- To upper 30's.

Watched the last two hours plus of, 'THE IRISHMAN' (Netflix). Based on the 2004 book by Charles Brandt, 'I HEARD YOU PAINT HOUSES' that tells the story of hit-man, Frank Sheeran, who was probably responsible for the murders of Joey Gallo and Jimmy Hoffa; Robbie Robertson- (Music), and Ray Romano, Anna Paquin, Jesse Plemons, Marin Ireland in key small roles. I loved the film, but I wish it was an eight to ten hour mini-series.

Then, 'END OF WATCH' (Netflix) The story of two cops on patrol in gang infested Hispanic neighborhoods in contemporary LA- A terrific police action/ thriller; with Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Pena, Natalie Martinez, and Anna Kendrick.

*****My first Thanksgiving that I didn't visit the Brandenburgs. I'm fine with this.....Any holiday based on overeating and football is of absolutely no interest to me.

145pm: PC is 'Off' and reading and listening to the living room Altec, and I spent most of the time loading more more music into Amazon Prime Music.

****WASTE OF TIME****I spent a couple of hours on the laptop trying to move all of my Itunes library to Google Play. It seemed to be uploading the files, but when I checked later in the evening it seemed that nothing had been added to Google Play.

About 315pm I went out for a run around the neighborhood in a misty drizzle. Down Westview and up Fairway and around to Lynnhaven. All the way to Jacks and then east. I couldn't believe that they haven't done the sidewalks all the way to Chatham. The sidewalk ends at the VFW Hall. I won't be running this route again. Then north on Chatham to Fairway and up Greenview to Parkview to Kenyon and back to Westview. Almost exactly 45".

Then downstairs to switch the living room standing light for the downstairs standing light. I don't like it, and I'll have to buy something that works. I finished 'CHAMELEON', but spent most of the time listening to the speaker bar and dumping a lot more music on to Amazon Music'; TAME IMPALA, A.K. KANE, early JIMMY PAGE, CLAPTON, BECK.

7pm: In the tub and began 'THE GRIFTERS'- Jim Thompson, and listened to SUPER FURRY ANIMALS and SAVOY BROWN.

Then the next 'BREAKING BAD' and another 'I'M WITH THE BAND: NASTY CHERRY, but I realized that I had watched the last episode of Season 1 of 'NASTY CHERRY'....I hope this series continues.
Then I watched the 45" documentary, 'FIRE IN PARADISE' , about the recent wildfire in Paradise, California. This film was so surreal. At 9am these people were fleeing from their homes in pitch-black darkness. Where the town used to be looked as if a nuclear explosion had leveled the area.  Then part of a forgettable True Crime...I've forgotten it before I finished typing this.
