 Mo 11/9/20

Up 745am: Partly sunny, breezy with temps to the mid 70's.

I watched 'THE PERSONALS' (Amazon Prime). Set in Taiwan and concerns a female ophthalmologist who uses a dating app to find a husband. She meets lots of odd characters and she is dating because she fell in love with a married man, he has apparently abandoned her,  and she aborted their child. She frequently calls this man, but her messages are left unanswered. In the final scenes she speaks with her lover's wife and this woman tells her that he was killed in a plane crash. The wife is thankful to her and she feels no ill will. A very touching film and reveals a lot about the cultural differences between Taiwan and the US; winner of 5 international awards and nominated for 10 others.

Then I watched episode 1 of 'MISSING' (Amazon Prime). I had seen this series before, but I had forgotten how good it was. While vacationing in France a couple's eight year old son is kidnapped. Six years later Dad revisits the town and tries to find out what happened to his son. 

130pm I wrote the Weekly Wrap and sent it off. 

325pm: The Tamsulosin is waiting at County Market Pharmacy... Oakmont, Country Club, Laurel, East to Lincoln then north to Monroe to County Market Pharmacy... Got a loaf of 'good' bread for $2.99...Monroe, Kenyon and down to 940...Mp3...NPR 91.9...2 HOURS. 

In the tub with NICHOLAS RINALDI and listening to, A. R. E  WEAPONS, RANDY NEWMAN~'Sail Away', RAY LAMONTAGNE. 

Then I watched 'WADE IN THE WATER' (Amazon Prime). A very low budget Independent film about a man who gets a pedaphile's sex tape misdelivered to his post office mailbox. He tracks down the owner/perpetrator, who happens to be a local preacher and he shoots him in the face. Later he develops a relationship with the man's daughter and she talks him into turning himself into the police for the murder. A very strange and off-beat film. No Name Stars.

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).
