***Last night I removed Chrome Equalizer from the downstairs PC and it looks like it's gone for the living room PC as well. I think that the equalizer caused the problem I was having with Amazon Music, but that's more of a hunch than an explanation. Stay tuned. 

Watched 'FOUR DAUGHTERS' (Hoopla). This is an unconventional documentary about Islamic fundamentalism and the negative impact upon young women. The narrative focuses on a Tunisian woman and her four daughters. They are a Muslim household and the two oldest daughters have decided to embrace a strict adherence to Sharia Law. Near the close of the film we learn that these two girls were arrested and imprisoned in Libya for being part of a terrorist network and the film is about how mom and the two other daughters deal with the emotional rift. Worth a look. "80" Metascore and that's about where I'd put it.  From THE NEW YORK TIMES: "The re-enactments map out the family’s tension and lay bare their wounds, but the lost daughters remain cyphers — the appeal of radicalization frustratingly murky through the end."

Watched 'PRESENCE' (Kanopy). A novel twist on the 'ghost genre' in that although you never 'see' the spirit, it is a definite character in the film. Also, in the spirit world the past, present, and future might be jumbled and not in chronological order because the 'tragedy' has not yet occurred. It seems that the ghost acts to prevent the girl from being killed by her maniacal boyfriend. Lover boy's plan was to have her drink a glass of whisky with an Ambien and then smother her with a sheet of Saran Wrap over her mouth and nose. However, the killer and the girl's brother fall out the window and die on the driveway two stories below. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. "77" Metascore and that's about where I'd put it.

Wrote a quick Chat and then finished 'BIOHACKERS' (Netflix).  A shock at the end of the series. Dr. Lorenze is shot by an unknown gunman and dies in Mia's arms. Apparently, the assassination was a plan by the count's family to 'tie up loose ends'. In the final scene Emma destroys evidence dealing with Dr. Lorenze, discards her necklace that spelled 'Mia', and drives off into the sunset. This was a cheesy series, but it just percolated right along. I liked it.   

1210pm: The PC is 'Off' and planning to spend the afternoon at Esporta. The last time I was there I had trouble with the WIFI, but I think that was part of a national outage....I hope. {WIFI worked perfectly, so last time was tied to the national outage} 

1230pm:  To Esporta...45"Precor, 45"Treadmill, 30"Cross, 15"Recumbent Bike, 30"Precor...ONE HOUR 45 MINUTES;  2 episodes of 'MISSING: DEAD OR ALIVE' (Netflix)- A young man in Columbia, South Carolina is strangled by a man in his apartment complex;  more RALPHY MAY on 'The Church'; a BREAKING POINTS.

Finished reading 'MERCEDES NIGHTS' & back to 'TERMS OF ENDEARMENT'. 

545pm: In the tub with 'TERMS OF ENDEARMENT' and listening to DON CHERRY Playlist; DOOBIE BROTHERS Playlist; DAVID BOWIE- 'The Man Who Sold The World.

More RALPHIE MAY (Joey & Lee are tripping) on 'THE CHURCH OF WHAT'S HAPPENING'.

Began 'THE CRYSTAL CUCKOO' (Netflix).  A young woman receives a heart transplant and decides to pay a visit to the family of the man who donated his heart. Set in the fictional town of Yesques and filmed in the Ambroz River Valley near Hervas, Spain which is about 160 miles west of Madrid. I shut it down 14 minutes into episode #2
