 Tu 8/23/22- Agnes Fenner: 245pm

7am (2- B). 955am (B). 1245pm (2- B).

Up 6am: Another partly cloudy day with temps just over 80.

7am: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT watched almost to the end of 'THE UNDECLARED WAR' (Peacock-TV). Hit the workout early because of the weird time for the appointment. 

I finished 'THE UNDECLARED WAR' (Peacock-TV) and was very disappointed with the ending. Was World War III avoided? It could have gone either way. Watched some stuff on YouTube about the film, but no help. A computer expert offered her take on the 'code' used during the film, but that was far too complex and really doesn't help resolve the ending. Was there a war?

Watched 'COMING FROM INSANITY' (Netflix). The initial subplot was the most interesting-  Children from war torn Togo are sold as 'foster children/slaves'? and 'adopted/bought' by middle class families in Nigeria who use them as servants. The film is about a boy from Togo who leaves his adopted 'family' after over a decade and becomes a successful counterfeiter. Filmed in Lagos, Nigeria and worth a look, only just barely. 

Watched the first twelve minutes of  'THE DEFEATED' (Netflix). A high quality German series and I'll watch more of this tonight.

1230pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for Two Miles on the Treadmill. 

1245pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and began a SKEPTIC TANK. 

215pm: To 800 N. 1st and mailed back the disc at the Monroe PO on the way.

***Melissa was standing by the elevator in the lobby. She's getting a hip replacement?!?!

Waited till 315pm to see Fenner, then a blood and urine sample and back at 940 by 345pm. Next appointment is Monday, August 28th at 130pm.

3 beers reading 'NIGHTMARE ALLEY' but mostly the STEVE MARRIOTT bio on my Kindle in the living room. 

Watched 'FORKS OVER KNIVES' (Tubi).  Another thought provoking film about the relationship of diet to health. 75% of the healthcare budget goes to chronic diseases which could mostly be eradicated by a change to plant based foods. Plant based protein is better than meat based protein.   When the Nazis occupied Norway during WWII all meat and dairy was sent to the home front. Norway's heart disease rate plummeted....Indonesia had only 18 men die of prostate cancer because all they eat is fish and plants- non western diet...  The number one killer of front line firemen is heart disease.

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...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...
