 Th 2/8/24

645am (2-B). 740am (1-SB). 1205pm (2-B). 440pm (2-B). 

Up 540am: Cloudy & windy and much warmer with temps to 60 degrees.

Watched 'WILL' (Netflix). Set in Antwerp, Belgium- 1942 at a time when the local police are pressed into service to aid in the Nazi occupation. A powerful film about the question of morality and the theme of the film is that there are absolutely no easy answers. I was surprised that this film was not more highly acclaimed. I thought it was truly powerful.  

"History is not the dates of certain battles or the dates of famous people...Nobody knows what history really is".

Watched 'MADE IN ITALY' (Netflix). A young man needs his artist father to sell his Italian villa so that the son can buy an art gallery formerly owned by his ex-wife. It is a lightly romantic affair and the only saving grace is  the elegant Italian scenery. It's easy on the eyes, but not enough drama to make it believable. It stars Liam Neeson and his son Micheal Neeson, also father and son, in the movie. "44" Metascore.  

1140am: PC is 'Off' and will do the treadmill this afternoon.

1210pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; TUESDAYS WITH STORIES; more of 'Sober October' on J.R.E. 

Weights: 3 sets/15 reps

 Reading & finished 'SUNSET LIMITED' and began 'SHADOWFIRES' by Dean Koontz.  

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; SKEPTIC TANK  with ROGAN & HINCHCLIFFE.

445pm: In the tub with 'THE SUNSET LIMITED' and listening to GRATEFUL DEAD- 'From The Mars Hotel'; BLUE CHEER- 'Outsideinside'; GRATEFUL DEAD 'Shakedown Street'; DEEP PURPLE- 'Machine Head'.

More of ROGAN & HINCHCLIFFE on 'Skeptic Tank'.

More 'DEADWIND' (Netflix). I shut it down 34 minutes into episode #7. I will finish this tomorrow after 'The Morning Movie'.

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...
