 Su 2/19/23

725am (2-B). 1110am (2-B). 435pm (2-B). 705pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: Bright & sunny with temps to mid 50's. This is late February?

Did the Weekly Cleaning

Watched 'THE GRAY MAN' (Netflix).  I had seen this one before and it was worth a second viewing. Clever banter and fast-paced action, a ton of special effects, and lots of 'boom-boom' make it more than tolerable.  Chris Evans portrayal of a psychotic and unhinged private intelligence operative was truly memorable and as soon as I saw his character my memory clicked in. Chris Evans is widely known for his roles in the 'Avenger' movies and this is why he was unfamiliar to me because I generally do not watch movies based on comic books and this is why I didn't recognize this internationally famous actor; with Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfre Woodard, and Shea Whigham. Over 14 minutes of closing credits!

The film is based on the novels in the 'Gray Man' series by Mark Greaney and he was interviewed on the J.R.E. last week. 

1030am: PC is 'Off' and planning to get a slightly early start and spend the afternoon at Planet Fitness.

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

***Paired earbuds and now I have to learn how to use them. 

1125am: To Planet Fitness. 45"Cross.  45"Treadmill. 30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30"Cross;  tried to watch 'KATH & KIM' (Netflix). I guess you have to be Australian to get it; I gave 'GUNTHER'S MILLIONS' (Netflix) a shot, but another 'No Go'; Finished 'BILL RUSSELL:  Legendary (Netflix)- A fine documentary and I'd like to get his book, 'SECOND WIND'; more of BRIDGET PHETASY on J.R.E. 

Finished 'STRAIGHT LIFE' & began 'STRANGE FITS OF PASSION' by Anita Shreve.

440pm: In the tub with 'STRANGE FITS OF PASSION' and listening to MILES DAVIS- 'Miles Ahead'; CHICAGO- from a set that contains 10 hours of all their albums. 

More 'HACHE' (Netflix). At the end of episode #8 Helena kills Malpica, the owner of The Albatross and the leader of the criminal organization. Nobody could have guessed that she would shoot him execution style. This was a great 'season closer', but I didn't realize that this was the end of season #1. I'm going to save season #2 for a later date. 

***Buddy threw up in the basement just as I was shutting down the downstairs PC, but he seems fine. My theory is that he was eating cobwebs downstairs and that made him sick.

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).
