 Fr 2/23/24- Cold

7am (2-B). 840am (1-SB). 1225pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 810pm (2-B). 

Up 550am: Partly sunny with temps to upper 50's. 

***I definitely seem to be coming down with something and now it's a question of just how bad it will get. I took an antihistamine at 7am and I might need cold pills. 

Watched 'RED ROCKET' (Amazon Prime). An adult film star on the skids comes home to reinvent himself  and can't quite accept the fact that his brash persona and hapless personality are his biggest blocks. He needs a break, but can't get out of his own way.  A fine Independent film that's ambitious and authentic. Set and shot in eastern Texas near the Louisiana border: Port Arthur, San Leon, and Galveston, Texas. "76" Metascore. I had seen this one a while ago, and it was well worth a second look. 

Began 'ROY'S WORLD: Barry Gifford's Chicago' (Amazon Prime). An interesting video and photographic presentation of the autobiographical stories of Barry Gifford, a Chicago native who chronicled life in 'the windy city' during the fifties and early sixties. Voice-overs provided by Willem Dafoe, Matt Dillon, and Lili Taylor (one hour and fifteen minutes).

1150am: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hit Esporta for the workout. I want to stop at Schnucks on the way home for a few items. 

No weights; too sick 

1235pm: To Esporta...45" Precor. 30" Bike.  30" Cross.  30" Precor; watched documentary 'Can I Tell You A Secret?' (Netflix)- A guy in England got 9 years in the slammer for cyberstalking. He deserved it, but people convicted of murder have served less time; finished ALISON BRIE on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK; began a black pro athlete on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK. 

Schnucks: $19- bananas, severe cold pills, cottage cheese, garlic butter sauce.

Reading 'MISSING YOU'

Opened new pot: Hybrid 

545pm: In the tub with 'MISSING YOU' and listening to BURNING SUNFLOWER BLUES BAND- 'Best of'; PETER GREEN & Company'; CAPTAIN BEEFHEART- 'Safe As Milk'.

More of RICHARD JEFFERSON (Basketball player) on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'. 

More of 'MONZON: A Knockout Blow' (Netflix). I shut it down 30 minutes into episode #5. He will fight for the world championship, but break both of his hands during the title fight? Sounds like a pretty shortsighted game plan.
