 Fr 1/6/23- The Brandenburgs at 1pm. 

655am (B). 940am (2-B). 1235pm (1-B). 445pm (2-B). 655pm (B). 

Up 525am: Partly cloudy with temps to about 40.

Today's plan is to walk 6 miles on the treadmill before I head out to Red Oak Lane.

Watched 'A COP MOVIE' (Netflix). A Mexican Art House Film about a couple who met as cadets at the police academy and later become partners on the job (and later move in together). The film introduces them and later you realize that they are actors playing a role, and then in the last part of the film the real couple replace the actors. The film's theme is that 'Corruption is Rampant'. It costs an officer at least $20 a day just to 'rent' his equipment. The bulletproof vest, ammunition,  and revolver are all available 'for a fee' and this is collected at the start of each shift. Nothing is free. And, if you are injured during the work day it might take hours for an ambulance to arrive. The two officers seem to believe that taking bribes is part of their salary. I also learned that the street cops give 'a piece' to the higher ups.

925am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a six mile walk.

945am:  SIX MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began 'MADOFF: THE MONSTER OF WALL STREET' (Netflix). Shut it down with 19 minutes left to go in episode #2.

Reading 'THE RISK POOL'.

1245pm: To Red Oak Lane- Talked and had a nice visit until 4pm and I was home 420pm. She gave me the Xmas candle that she broke accidentally. It should smell terrific because it is a caramel flavored scent. 

450pm:  In the tub with 'THE RISK POOL' and listening to TOMMY BOLIN Playlist; THE ALLMAN BROTHERS Live Fillmore 1971 Playlist. 

Watched a little more of JOE ROGAN on  LEX FRIDMAN.

Watched 'LOVING HIGHSMITH' (Kanopy). A straightforward biography of the fantastic novelist, Patricia Highsmith. I had forgotten that she grew up in Texas and had an unusual relationship with her mother. Patricia adored her mother yet her love was never reciprocated. I should rewatch 'CAROL', one of Highsmith's 'girl' novels.
