 Fr 8/7/26- A call from Joe 

730am (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 755am (4-B: Red Congolese). 125pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 535pm (GB: 6/ Durban Poison). 820pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese). 

Up 630am: Cloudy & humid with temps to mid 80's. 

About 7am a gray sedan was in the driveway of the house next door. A gnarly looking short man had apparently (maybe?) been in the house all night. Maybe there is somebody living there during the renovation? I had seen 'Gnarly Guy' working on the house over the last few weeks. 

Watched 'IN THE LAND OF SAINTS AND SINNERS' (Netflix). An Irish hitman wants to retire, but 'The Troubles' (Northern Ireland conflict between Protestants and Catholics) keeps calling him back. A band of IRA killers have come to town and mayhem ensues. Pretty standard stuff, but beautiful locations in Donegal, Ireland which is in the far northwestern part of the country; with Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon (an exciting performance as the 'evil bitch'). "60" Metascore and I would go to "76". THE A.V. CLUB- "This is the definition of a B movie; competent, easy to follow, and almost instantly forgettable." Some of the film was shot near 'Bantry Harbour' which is a deep-water coastal harbor located at the head of Bantry Bay in West Cork, Ireland. This was where the 'graves among the young fir trees' were located and this location is on the very southern tip of Ireland.

930am: Two trucks (GIBBEL- heating & cooling/ appliances) across the street and a big orange straight truck is making a delivery to the house next to them (ACE WORLD WIDE  ELITE RELOCATION SERVICES- long distance moving). 

Called Janny at 910am but there was no answer. Will call back, but I want to hit Planet Fitness and Schnucks or County Market for groceries today and tomorrow I'd like to mow the lawn. Monday for a visit?  

At 10am I got a call from Joe and I guess yesterday things took a turn for the worst and he said that I should probably pay her a visit. It does not look good. 

10am: Shutting down the PC and preparing to go to Jamie's house. I was very constipated, but got some relief before I left for the country. 

1030am- 140pm:  3 women's hospice care. We sat around the kitchen table and they talked about 'end of life' and what might happen. Joe & Jon were there (Melissa on the phone) and Whitney was working from home with the boys. Jamie and his family were in St. Louis to see an eye doctor for Tommy. They would be back sometime Friday afternoon.  

Called Dr.. MARTINEK (217-960-8280)- a nurse will call me to set up an appointment for my constipation problem. I had hoped that I'd get something set up today, but nada. 

240pm: To Planet Fitness...45"Cross; 45"Treadmill; 15"Recumbent Bike; 15"Cross; finished 'THE LAND OF SAINTS AND SINNERS' (Netflix) & 'THE BOROUGHS' (Netflix); began TIM ROBBINS on J.R.E. 

445pm: Home for a bowl of steel cut instant oats & a flour tortilla.

540pm: In the tub with 'SIDDHARTHA' and listening to HOT CHIP- 'Made In The Dark'; DEEP PURPLE- 'Come Taste The Band'/ 'Taliesyn'.

Finished LOUIS CK on DAN SODER and began JEFF BRIDGES on THEO VON.

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...

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...
