 Th 8/31/23

730am (2-B). 110pm (2-B). 620pm (2-B). 820pm (2-B). 

Up 630am: Thanks Buddy! Bright & sunny with temps to upper 70's.

Watched 'WHITE MISCHIEF' (Amazon Prime). In the early days of WWII members of the nobility relocated to their large estates in the British colony of Kenya and the rules of propriety were abandoned; with Greta Scacchi, Joss Ackland, Charles Dance, Geraldine Chaplin, John Hurt, and Hugh Grant (he has one line at the beginning of the film and looks like he's about sixteen).

From Wikipedia:

"The Happy Valley set were a group of elite, colonial expatriates who became notorious for drug use, drinking, adultery and promiscuity, among other things. From the movie poster:

"In England they were the elite, but bound by rules of society. In Kenya there were no rules, only glamour, decadence...and murder". Who killed Lord Erroll?

Sir Henry 'Jock' Delves Broughton (1883-1942) has the misfortune to be remembered as the prime suspect in the infamous, unsolved murder of Josslyn Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll in Kenya in 1941.

Finished 'BLOOD SEX & ROYALTY' (Netflix). Henry VIII seeks a divorce from Katherine of Aragon and junks the Catholic Church. Henry wants the wealth of the Catholic monasteries in England and Queen Anne has convinced him that bibles should be written in English so that believers could develop their own interpretations and not rely on church bias. Anne Boleyn is sentenced to death by the best lawyer in Britain, Oliver Cromwell, but Anne and Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I, goes on to become the heir to Henry's throne. She became the greatest queen in the country's history.  A decent series and I liked the use of Hip-Hop and modern colloquial dialogue. 

1230pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then walk outside. It's a beautiful late summer day. 

1220pm: To Washington Park...Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside,  Wiggins,  Outer Park,  Lincoln,  Leland. Walnut, Wash.Pk northside, up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...ONE HOUR AND 50 MINUTES;  WHO- 'Live AT Leeds'; POST MALONE on J.R.E. 

Reading 'REDEEMING LOVE'

530pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began JOHN MELLENCAMP on CLUB RANDOM. 

625pm:In the tub with 'REDEEMING LOVE' and listening to JOHN COLTRANE;  ALICE IN CHAINS'- 'Best of'.

More of JOHN MELLENCAMP on CLUB RANDOM

More 'WHO IS ERIN CARTER?' (Netflix). It ended at episode #7 and I thought it would go to at least #8. She says the last line in the film, "I am Erin Carter". 

Began the first few minutes of 'MIDNIGHT MASS' (Netflix). I shut it down 15 minutes into episode #1. A couple of the reviews are more or less positive and I'll give it a chance.

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...
