Th 5/21/2020

Up 720 am: Partly cloudy and temps to upper 60's.

Watched, 'DRIVEWAYS' (Hoopla). A very sweet film about an Asian American mother and her eight year old son who travel to upstate New York to ready a house for sale. The mother's older sister has died and the house is chock full of junk and the old man next door becomes their friend; one of Brian Dennehy's final performances.

Then watched, 'BODIED' (Kanopy). A made for YouTube Film produced by Eminem.

My post at Kanopy:

"The film was immensely entertaining and mixes great word-play with penetrating social satire, but to what point? It left me feeling that there is no way across the cultural and social barriers that divide people. Although the Rap Genre is given the artistic legitimacy it deserves, the film seems to promote the false idea that positive change can be achieved by yelling caustic and vile put downs at each other."

***Checked my Ameriprise account and happy to learn that I'm 'Over Two'!!!

215 pm: Attacked the lawn- the longest I've ever let it go. Walk later, but I'm sure that raking will be required.

Not quite two hours and everything looks fine- Some raking and trimming included. I mowed a small parcel in the front lawn of the abandoned house next door.

415 pm on the walk. Up Westview and down Parkview to Wash Pk. Wiggins South to Leland, and across MacArthur and out to Walnut (by 1315). On the north side of the panhandle and south at the middle of the park. Out south on Park to Leland and west to Wiggins. Back in the park and up and out on Parkview, down Greenview, and up to 940. AN HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES. Mp3- GREEN ON RED, BLACK KEYS, ALLMAN BROS. LIVE.

Then in the tub with,'THE POET' and listened to MASSIVE ATTACK and THE LUMINAIRES.
***Back Downstairs
***I tried to watch Netflix disc, 'MAIDEN'. In 1989 a woman organized an 'all women' yacht team and they came in second, but Number One in the eyes of the world. The VLC Player needed an update and I foolishly did that before I played the disc. It was working just fine before the update. Spent 45" reloading the program/ delete program/ ReStart, still won't work. Fuck!

Watched the disc on the 42" Screen/DVD Player. That was the first time that I had used that setup in months, and it took a little relearning. The speaker bar didn't work, but that was always a problem. I just hope that it connects with the phone because the bar works great with the Amazon Music.
