 Th 11/30/23

655am (2-B). 730am (1-SB). 1210pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 810pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Cloudy and temps to mid 50's. Rain is predicted to begin early this evening and continue through tomorrow.

Borrowed 'FOR MADMEN ONLY' (Hoopla). I noticed that we only get six picks per month. I thought it was seven. 

 Watched 'AFTERSUN' (Kanopy).  An Art Film about a father and his eleven year old daughter during their vacation at a low budget Spanish resort hotel. There is a shift in time and we see the eleven year old reviewing the holiday footage as a young woman apparently in a lesbian relationship and becoming a mother herself. She might be remembering her father just before he commited suicide after that holiday vacation. There was a postcard where he said 'I will always love you, don't forget that'. Set in Torremolinos- a municipality in Andalusia, southern Spain, west of Málaga. Not much of a plot, but moving and a sly and effective storytelling technique.  Some interesting song selections: 'Losing My Religion' as karaoke, 'Pressure Drop' with Bowie fronting Queen. "95" Metascore with four votes of "100". Directed by Charlotte Wells. I watched a ten minute review of the film on YouTube and it underscored my positive feelings about the film. 

Finished 'THE MINUS MAN' (Hoopla).  If he was a more violent killer instead of a mere poisoner, it might have made for a more unnerving experience. Maybe that's what Vann meant in his last voiceover when he says that he's surprised that there isn't more violence in the world because he suspects that there may be many more 'high functioning' killers in the world.   

1130am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then a walk to Washington Park. It looks like tomorrow it will rain for most of the day. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps.

***Sent an email to Brittney that I want a pumpkin pie and Joe and Jan would pick it up on 12/21.

1220pm- 150pm: To Washington Park... Parkview,  Wash.Pk southside, road thru middle of park to northside, Walnut,  southside,  up the road,  Parkview,  Fairway, and up to 940. ONE HOUR AND 20 MINUTES;  YES- 'The Yes Album'; BLACK CROWES Playlist;  began DAVE SMITH on J.R.E. 

Reading 'DEMON COPPERHEAD'

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of DAVE SMITH on J.R.E. 

545pm: In the tub with 'DEMON COPPERHEAD' and listening to KING CRIMSON- 'Discipline'/ 'In The Court of The Crimson King'; TALKING HEADS- 'Remain In Light'. 

I finished RUSSELL BRAND on 'Club Random'.

 More 'CRIMINAL CODE' (Netflix). I shut it down 27 minutes into episode #5. The storyline is percolating right along and there's just enough clever 'boom-boom' to keep it interesting- a shootout with speed boats racing across a large river; A squadron of SUVs pull into a small town and shoot up the police station while taking civilian hostages.
