 Fr 12/25/20- Xmas Day!

Up 810am: Sunny and frigid with temps barely to 20 degrees.

I wrapped the gifts and noticed an email from Janny. They are going out to Sherman to visit Jon and Whitney and the kids. I'm to meet them around 3pm. It's right across the street from the State Farm office on Andrew. I think I remember and that's the first time that I had even an inkling of selling the condo and buying a house.

Watched 'MOST WANTED' (Amazon Prime). A Canadian police film about a phony heroin scheme put together by some Vancouver detectives and their confidential informant. A street level junkie with zero experience in drug smuggling is elevated to 'Drug Czar' status with big connections in Thailand. The kid was freed after eight years, but he was facing death or one hundred years in prison; with Antoine Olivier Pilon, Jim Gaffigan, and Josh Hartnett.

1130: ON THE TREADMILL for FOUR MILES with more of RON On JOE and then off to Sherman. 330-630pm just visiting in the living room with Joe & Jan Jon & Whitney & and the two boys. They are a nice family and fine people. 

In the tub with RUSSO and listening to GRAHAM Parker~ 'Your Country' and 'Don't Tell Columbus'. 

Watched 'LIGHT SLEEPER' (Amazon Prime). An affecting  'Art Film Noir' set on the misty and neon drenched streets of late 80's Manhattan about a mid level drug dealer who feels stuck in a life that offers no satisfaction, yet he sees no other alternative; with Willem Dafoe, Sam Rockwell, and Susan Sarandon, directed by Paul Schrader. A Minor Film Classic....I think. I found the music for the film particularly irritating and it was done by singer/song writer, Michael Been. It sounds like a very bad mix of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. I learned that Michael Been is the father of  Robert Levon Been, one of the guys in BLACK REBEL MOTORCYLE CLUB. Michael Been died in 2010 while touring and working as a sound man with BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB.
