 Tu 3/12/24- Dentist 220pm {No Insurance!}

725am (2-B). 810am (1-SB). 1140am (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 810pm (2-B). 

Up 615am: Partly cloudy & breezy with temps to just over 70. 

Watched 'THE NICE GUYS' (Netflix). Who says Film Noir must be downbeat and glum? This film is a very funny and very clever addition to the genre. A pair of mismatched detectives search for a missing porn actress and uncover proof of collusion between Detroit auto makers and pollution in downtown Los Angeles; with Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, and Kim Basinger. Many scenes were shot in Atlanta, Georgia although the film is set in Los Angeles. The Comedy Store is in several shots. 9 wins & 34 nominations. "70" Metascore. I had seen this one before, but I might even watch it again sometime in the future.   

Began season #1 of 'SEINFELD' (Netflix). I watched about half of the episode and understand why 'the comedy guys' love this series so much. It's the essence of observational humor.

Began 'THE VOLCANO: Rescue From Whakaari' (Netflix). I will continue this series on the treadmill.

1120am: PC is 'Off' and will do Five Miles before the dental appointment at 220pm.

1140am: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished volcano documentary. People were steamed alive; more of SHANE GILLIS on 'SODER'

Weights:  3 sets/  15 reps

Reading 'RABBIT AT REST 

2pm: To the dentist 

I was in the chair when I gave them the new United Healthcare card. They said that I was not covered under this insurance company- both medical and dental. I was surprised because I used the card for Fenner's appointment and United Healthcare pays my health club memberships.  I cancelled today's appointment until I could get to the bottom of the insurance problem. 

When I got home I called United Healthcare and learned that I am not enrolled in the 'Care Plus' program (that includes Dental, but I do have medical insurance) and I couldn't enroll until next year.

Then I called MetLife to see if I could renew my old policy and found that I am still insured with them. I had the clerk send me new cards and I should get them in seven to ten days. {I have 'MetLife PDP Plus'}

I called the dentist back and they will set up an account with MetLife. I'd like to know where the money is coming from to pay the premiums. More 'phone-phun' tomorrow.

Rescheduled appointment is at 1pm, Tu 3/12/24

Reading 'RABBIT AT REST'

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT;began H. FOLEY on 'MINDFUL METAL JACKET'.

545pm: In the tub with 'RABBIT AT REST' and listening to LED ZEPPELIN I; ROLLING STONES- 'Let It Bleed'.

More of SHANE GILLIS on 'SODER'.

Decided to halt the Spanish series and, for something different, began 'STRANGER' (Netflix).  This promises to be Korean courtroom drama at its best. Another long series: 16 episodes that are over an hour per segment. I shut it down an hour and two minutes into episode #1.

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...
