 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.

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).
