 Mo 3/22/21

920 am. 240pm. 905pm.

Up 8am: Partly cloudy and breezy with temps to mid 60's. Rain all day tomorrow.

Wrote up 'THE INNOCENT' by Ian McEwan for the blog.

Watched 'EXTRACTION' (Netflix). An Indian drug lord's son is kidnapped by a drug kingpin from Bangladesh. Tyler Rake is called in to rescue the kid and they get trapped in a city that's under full lockdown and all the bad guys and police are looking to kill them. A slightly better than average Action/Thriller; with Chris Hemsworth.

    "You don't die from falling into a river, you die from staying submerged in it".

I made appointments for basement repair with Helitech, Woods Foundation Recovery, and Greentree. Then I wrote the Weekly Wrap and sent it.

245 pm: Oakmont, Country Club, Laurel, Park thru Wash. Park to Adams/Washington, dropped the disc at the box by Walgreens, Lawrence, Kenyon, and down to 940...TWO HOURS... Mp3... PAUL BUTTERFIELD, RICHARD THOMPSON, BELLE & SEBASTIAN.

Reading GORE VIDAL in living room

***The screen would not pop up the 'shutdown' command. I found that if you right click the start button it will allow you to 'shutdown'.  And then I learned that 'Foundation Recovery' is not 'Woods', but I kept that appointment and made an appointment with 'Woods'. Now I have four outfits on the case. I guess I'll give Acculevel a call when I get all the recommendations.

640 pm... In the tub with GORE VIDAL (and finished 'PERPETUAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL PEACE') and listening to OLIVER NELSON, CANNONBALL ADDERLY,  LESTER YOUNG.

Began the James Brown film 'GET ON UP' (Netflix). A fairly standard biopic of a very misunderstood character. He was not always a decent person, but he was always Mr. Dynamite; with Chadwick Boseman, Dan Aykroyd, Viola Davis, Craig Robinson, and Octavia Spencer.

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...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. 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). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
