 Tu 6/28/22

715am (2). 850am (2 hits pre-roll). 1120am (1). 350pm (1). 640pm (1). 

Up 530am: More sunny skies and temps to low 80's.

Watched Netflix disc 'RESPECT'. I learned that I knew next to nothing about Aretha Franklin's personal life. Very surprised to learn that during the early 60's she had nine jazz albums on Columbia without a single hit. When she connects with Jerry Wexler (played beautifully by Marc Maron) he convinces her to use the studio musicians at Muscle Shoals and this was the first time that Aretha had the opportunity to produce and direct her own recording session. I didn't know that she had an overbearing father or a history of alcohol abuse, but this was almost too easy to accept; with Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans, Tituss Burgess (THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT), Audra McDonald, Marc Maron, and Mary J. Blige.  

1055am: PC is 'Off' and preparing to walk downtown to mail the disc.

1125am: Out Governor, a little bit of downtown and back Edwards...ALMOST TWO HOURS...'Live AT The Beacon' - THE ALLMAN BROTHERS;  'Live AT The Mocambo' -  THE STONES. 

Reading 'A THIN DARK LINE'

355pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and began RYAN HOLIDAY on J.R.E. 

445pm:  In the tub with 'A THIN DARK LINE' and listening to 'Sidewinder- LEE MORGAN; 'Holmes- BONNIE & DELANEY.

Watched more of RYAN HOLIDAY on J.R.E. and then 

'GLADBECK: The Hostage Crisis' (Netflix). A famous hostage situation that happened in Germany during the summer of 1988. A huge pack of journalists were interviewing armed hostage takers as they were in the act of kidnapping dozens of individuals. Since then the police no longer allow journalists to interview or negotiate for evil doers. I don't think anything like this has occurred in America.

Tired tonight. No weights and going to hit the hay a little early.

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...
