Th 2/22/24

7am (2-B). 8am (1-SB). 1220pm (2-B). 535pm (2-B). 815pm (2-B). 

550am: Partly cloudy with temps to low 60's. 

I feel like I might be coming down with a cold and I took an antihistamine at 7am & 1215pm. 

***At 915am I got a text and an audio alert from my phone saying that there was a major cell phone outage. I checked the internet and ATT has more than 50,000 customers without service. I'm not affected because I'm on Xfinity...I guess. 

Watch 'COLD SOULS' (Hoopla). A very clever satire starring Paul Giamatti as a man who cannot tolerate his soul and uses a company to have it removed. His soul is only the size of a chickpea and later he learns that  his soul was mistakenly sent to a Russian actress who wanted the soul of a famous American actor. She wanted Al Pacino, but ended up with Giamatti; Paul Giamatti, Emily Watson, Dina Korzun, and David Strathairn. "69" Metascore.  "The soul has its principal seat in the small gland located in the middle of the brain."- Rene Descartes.

Finished 'COLD CASE HAMMARSKJOLD' (Amazon Prime). 

The South African Institute for Maritime Research was a real organization that promoted white supremacy in Africa. They could have been behind the assassination of Dag Hammarskjold, but there doesn't seem to be any solid evidence to support the claim. And it is highly unlikely that they spread the AIDS virus through the use of tainted vaccines. Vaccines cannot be used in this manner and it reminds me of the false belief that you could become infected with syphilis from a toilet seat. 

Finished 'NEIL YOUNG: The First Decade' (Amazon Prime). No new ground broken and about what you might expect. However, not a sympathetic look at CSN & Y and I was surprised that Robert Chrisgau dismissed the band (without Young) as 'fat choirboy stuff'.

Since it's still very unseasonably warm I will hit the sidewalks again today. 

Weights later? Nada.

1230pm- 220pm: To Country Club & Wash.Pk...Parkview,  Oakmont,  Country Club,  Laurel,  Dial Court,  Douglas,  Wash.Pk southside,  Walnut,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway, and up to 940.. ONE HOUR AND 50 MINUTES;  ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND- 'Where It All Begins'; more of SAM MORRIL on J.R.E. 

Reading JOHN O'HARA anthology. 

440pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began Barstool Sports guys on Bertcast.

540pm: In the tub to begin 'MISSING YOU' by HARLAN COBEN and listening to ELVIN JONES Playlist; FLEETWOOD MAC- 'Then Play On'; very tired so I listened to a podcast on Spotify called 'MORBID' - An aunt and her niece do 'blue' stories about haunted/ supernatural. Not too good.

Finished 'Barstool Guys' on Bertcast.

More 'MONZON: A Knockout Blow' (Netflix). I shut it down 2 minutes into episode #4. Surprisingly smooth transition from young Monzon to old Monzon.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. 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...
