 We 4/21/21-Ryan from CREASEY: 2pm. 

915am. 355pm. 950pm. 1030pm. 

Up 730am: Partly cloudy, but chilly with temps barely to 50.

***Dr. Kirk left word that Buddy's thyroid is now normal! And I leave the dose where it is, twice a day.

Watched 'CONCRETE COWBOY' (Netflix).  A reasonable 'Coming of Age Tale', but a little heavy on the Protestant Ethic: "Work will set you free", but little is made of how the community can overcome a system that is designed to work against them and hold them back. Set in North Philadelphia and loosely based on 'Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club'.  20% or more of American cowboys were Hispanic or Afro-American. 'Cowboy' comes from the term for black cowboys. They were called 'cattle boys'..."Hey, boy!...Hey, boy!... get over here and get that cow".

1150am: finished the film on the treadmill...ON THE TREADMILL...5 Miles and after the film I watched BERT KREISCHER and TOM SEGURO~ 'Bad Friends' podcast. 

Read in the living room till Ryan called and arrived at 210pm-240pm. The entire drywall must be replaced. I had him make the estimate with /without painting and a new door. $2,000 at least. He will email the estimate by Friday. 

4pm: Watched 'JACK GOES BOATING' (Amazon Prime). The film powerfully delves into the emotional and romantic lives of four friends in the working class in the boroughs of New York City; with Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Ortiz, Amy Ryan, and Daphne Rubin-Vega. "An affectionate homage to working-class underdogs trying to carve out their own little corners of happiness". "Hoffman's directorial debut transfers to film the company's ethos of an ensemble performing with ruthless honesty encouragingly well." The script was written by Robert Glaudini and based on his play, 'JACK GOES BOATING'. Filmed in Harlem, Brooklyn, and Queens, New York.

630pm: ON THE TREADMILL...  2 Miles and watched an episode of 'LOUDERMILK' (Amazon Prime) and then more KREISCHER/SEGURO. 

In the tub with 'CITIZEN COHEN' (Began this afternoon) and listening to GRATEFUL DEAD~ Rarities, CLAPTON ~ 'Layla'. THE WHO~ 'Who' s Next'. 

Watched a bit of "THE GRASS IS GREENER" a documentary about cannabis on Netflix, then the first episode of 'UTOPIA' (Amazon Prime). This is just as confusing as the recent remake, but I like it a little better because it is set in England. 

And, 'GETTING DOUG WITH HIGH' with David Cross.

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...
