 Mo 10/20/25

745am (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 825am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1055am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 540pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 815pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 

Up 640am: Sunny & blustery with temps to about 70.

***First time to use the heat this season

Trouble with Hoopla and Amazon Music (My Music). Later I had problems with NPR (I could get NPR but not classical music) and then IMDB. I think there is something wrong with Amazon streaming services. Not sure what's going on at NPR. 

Watched 'THE DOUBLE HOUR' (Amazon Prime). An Italian security guard meets a foreign hotel worker at a 'speed dating' event and they become a couple. He is head of security at a huge mansion filled with valuables and on the day that he escorts his new girlfriend to the estate they are attacked and the mansion is robbed. The guard is shot and the bullet leaves him and strikes the woman in the head. She ends up in a coma for a few days and one of them is behind the theft and the movie keeps you guessing 'who done it'. This one was really a cut above. Filmed near Turin, Italy. 

Sent 'The Chat'

The outages continue and cause far more anxiety than necessary. It's not my system, even though this is hard for me to accept. I just learned that the Amazon outage is on the front page at CNN. The Classics on NPR is back, although it had nothing to do with Amazon. Coincidence is hard to accept, but...

Began 'THE LINCOLN LAWYER' (Netflix- season #2). I shut it down 13 minutes into episode #2. Another classy series and Mickey Haller is almost as good as Rene Ballard. I like them both. 

1230pm: The widespread outage at Amazon has been going on for over eight hours globally. I've gotten back NPR Classic, but it seems a little shaky and Amazon Music is still a no go. I was going to walk outside today, but it's too windy again. I also wanted to finish 'SEPARATE CHURCH & HATE', but it's an Amazon audiobook so the site is probably down. I'll hit the treadmill with more 'THE LINCOLN LAWYER' (Netflix) because Netflix wasn't hurt by the outage. I wonder why I was able to finish 'THE DOUBLE HOUR' because that was on Amazon Prime. 

 105pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more 'THE LINCOLN LAWYER' (Netflix)- The writing stands out and they understand just how to propel the story. One overarching story for the whole season and a new plot line every other episode. 

Reading 'BREAD UPON THE WATERS'

4pm: I got a text that The Brandenburgs would be in the neighborhood. Joe parked out front & I caught Janny as she left the apples on the breezeway. She checked out the new recliner & talked of the security breach at Cowan Epperson. 

440pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more JOE LIST on 'MOHR STORIES'.

545pm: In the tub with 'BREAD UPON THE WATERS' and listening to MOTT THE HOOPLE Playlist; MUDDY WATERS- 'Electric Mud'; MY MORNING JACKET Playlist. 

Finished JOE LIST on JAY MOHR.

More 'JAUDA' (Netflix). I shut it down 17 minutes into episode #9.

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...
