 Tu 5/4/21

930am. 1250pm. 950pm. 

Up 8am: Cloudy and chance of rain for most of the day with temps only in the upper 50's.

****Adam returned my text. He'll send over a list of possible contractors. I told him that I was scheduled for the 2nd or 3rd week of June. He didn't know, but was glad that it's comparatively early.   

Watched 'THIS IS PARIS' (YouTube). An interesting and well-made video 'autobiography' of Paris Hilton. She makes the case that 'the sex tape' and her 'wild youth' were because she was placed in home for 'wayward teenagers' in Provo, Utah. Her parents didn't know any better, they didn't know what else to do with her, but she was clearly abused by the 'tough love' strategy. She wears a lot of tee shirts that have messages..."My dog is my therapist"..."Past, Present, Future". Worth a look and almost worth the hype. 

Then I watched the Bonus Features from 'THE CLIMB' (Netflix disc). Based on a short which is the first 'one take' scene from the film. Shot in upstate New York...'Skating on Skis' are the Canadian skiing champions from 1979.

Watched the first episode of 'THE INNOCENT' (Netflix- based on a novel by Harlen Coben).

2pm: ON THE TREADMILL..5 Miles at 3.4 pace and finished JOSH ROGIN and bore of ANDREW SANTINO on J. R. E.

Read in the living room, then at 620pm...ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles at 3.4 pace and more ANDREW SANTINO on J. R. E. 

715pm: In the tub with PEASE and listening to APPLES IN STEREO, an Al Franken podcast about CIT- Crisis Intervention Training, and a Joey Diaz podcast.

Watched 'DOMINICK DUNNE: AFTER THE PARTY' (Amazon Prime). An interesting look at the life of Dominick Dunne, an author who wrote of high crimes among America's upper class. He died of bladder cancer just a year after the film was released. I didn't know that he got a Bronze Star in WWII and he was a closeted bisexual, yet he had three children and two that died in infancy. His wife died of multiple sclerosis in 1997 and their eldest daughter was murdered in 1982.
