Up 710am: Partly sunny and calm with temps to 30.
Wrote up 'SEVEN DAYS OF US' for the blog.
Watched, 'FEEDBACK' (Hoopla). An armed gang takes over a London radio studio to get the late night shock jock to admit, on-air, to his nefarious behavior. Fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat excitement and, in the end, it really seems to be about toxic masculinity; with Eddie Marsan and Paul Anderson (they were both terrific!).
Then watched, 'UNICORN STORE' (Netflix). "Perhaps not every inner child needs to be unleashed". A strange and kooky 'coming of age' tale of a young woman who is stymied by maturity and she seems to be ensnared by her lifelong infatuation with unicorns. The tone of this film is confused, and it's only watchable by the fine acting of Brie Larson, but how in the world did Samuel L. Jackson become involved in this project? Brie Larson also directs.

2pm: To the 'Y' and then to County Market/ Fairhills for the weekly grocery shopping.
45" Walk (TV all workout. The first day of the Senate Impeachment Trial). 45" Recumbent Bike. 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.
To The Dollar Store at Fairhills: $20, and then over to County Market: $60.
Home to soak and read more of the first Myron Bolitar novel and listened to HOT CHIP and THE CRIBS.
Watched 'DISPATCHES FROM CLEVELAND' (Amazon Prime). A kind of 'Black Lives Matter' examination of what Capitalism has done to the city. A young black boy is shot dead by police for brandishing a toy gun and his mother tries to get the the cops involved in the shooting to face justice. The county prosecutor puts it to a grand jury and they say the cops are not at fault.
*****The US is one of the few nations to still have The Grand Jury System. The UK dropped this during the 1930's.
Then I watched about half of a documentary called 'THE 13TH STEP' (Amazon Prime). Courts are forcing sexual offenders to attend AA meetings and nothing is being done inform group members. The film is an expose of the practices of AA....Too much 'God'..., and, 'We have the truth and we will ignore everything that has happened socially, culturally, and scientifically in the last 90 years'.
