945am. 405pm. 945am. 

Up 8am: Cloudy with rain beginning late morning and lasting through Tuesday morning. Temps today to almost 70.

I wrote up 'MANHATTAN NOCTURNE' by Colin Harrison for the blog and the film, 'MANHATTAN NIGHT' is this morning's 'Morning Movie' on Amazon Prime. 

930am: Called Tracy at Helitech and left word.

***950am~ Green Panic: Woman in black walking a dog. Dark German Shepherd? Man in black- tall socks, shaved or close cropped, started yelling at the woman. Walked to the end of the street- Fairway. Man was now walking the dog. Carol was getting into her car so she saw some as well. 

'MANHATTAN NIGHT' (Amazon Prime). A beautiful recreation of the book and the parts that were changed only made the narrative stronger; with Adrien Brody, Yvonne Strahovski, Campbell Scott, and Jennifer Beals. 

I wrote the Weekly Wrap and sent it off. 

145pm: ON THE TREADMILL...5 MILES at 3.4 pace and watched J.R.E with Anthony Cumia.

Wrote a response to Janny's email. Anne got pneumonia, but is doing better? 

***Just before 4pm it began to rain so hard I was certain that I'd have water downstairs...none yet. 

420pm: Watched 'FLIGHTPLAN' (Amazon Prime). A woman boards a plane from Berlin heading for the US and after waking from a nap, she can't find her six year old daughter. As the crew searches the plane it seems likely that her daughter might not be real at all, but a symptom of grief over the loss of her husband; with Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, and Sean Bean. It is a silly highjack premise, but it was moderately entertaining.

630pm: ON THE TREADMILL...2 MILES at 3.4 pace and more ANTHONY CUMIA on The Joe Rogan Experience. 

In the tub with WALTER TEVIS and listening to THE NIGHT HAWKS, THE O'JAYS, DANNY GATTON. 

Watched the first episode of Season 2 of 'UNDERCOVER' (Netflix). The movie 'FERRY' (Netflix) was based on this character before he became a Dutch mafia kingpin...Ripped and just watched the season recap.

Then an episode of  'MONE EXPLAINED- Retirement' (Netflix). They say you need a million dollars when you retire. I had $700,000. I had never heard of the 'high earners'. They are people who make more than $137, 900 a year. After you hit that figure you no longer pay anything to social security. If we could make them pay their share it would solve the whole problem.  

Then an episode of  'ROTTEN- Garlic Breath' (Netflix). An hour documentary about The Chinese/ American Garlic Market. The majority of garlic consumed in America is from China and most of it is peeled by prison labor and this is an illegal import according to American law. The segment is about a small group of garlic growers in New Mexico who go up against the big Chinese garlic producers.
