 Th 1/12/23

710am (B). 955am (2-B). 1245pm (2-B). 450pm (2-B). 720pm (B). 

*** Jeff Beck died yesterday of cerebral meningitis. 

Up 540am: A misty, rainy morning and then cloudy and breezy with temps on to about 40.

Watched 'THE SIEGE OF JADOTVILLE' (Netflix).  A fairly accurate portrayal of what happened in 1961 when the province of Kantanga tried to separate from The Republic of The Congo over valuable mining rights and the United Nations intervened. A platoon of Irish soldiers fighting for the UN are left in the lurch for the  'greater good'. It appeared that I had seen this one before, but my memory is blank; with Mark Strong, Jamie Dornan ('FIFTY SHADES OF GRAY').  

Watched 'TORN HEARTS' (Amazon Prime). Two ambitious female singer/ songwriters visit the isolated mansion of a reclusive 'Queen of Country Music'. Mayhem ensues and it's too corny to be more than nonsense. A Blumhouse Production. 

1225pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. 

1245pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and finished DAVID CROSS on TOM PAPA; began TUESDAYS WITH STORIES. 

No Weights 

Reading 'THE RISK POOL'

355pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and more of the two young 'paranormal' experts on J.R.E. 

455pm: In the tub with 'THE RISK POOL' and listening to RORY GALLAGHER- 'Blueprint/ Irish Tour '74'.

Finished 'TUESDAYS WITH STORIES' YouTube

Began 'SHTISEL' (Netflix). A soap opera about a contemporary orthodox Jewish family living in Tel Aviv, Israel. Even though it's subtitled, I have only the barest idea of what's going on. I think I'll pass on this series although I made it 15 minutes into episode #2.

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...
