Had a cool sunrise at 5:45 this morning and was lucky enough to capture it. Discovered I need to find a better way to eat. Now gaining weight with 6 plus miles of walking Harry and climbing the 4 flights of stairs to the apartment. Glucose numbers are not what they should be. It is tiresome to constantly think of what I am eating and its composition. Me and all my kids live in apartments now so we cannot have backyard barbecues. This is something I really miss. I loved doing the grilling and the flavors of the burgers and chicken with garlic sauce, and the grilled pineapple as well.
Watched Micheal B. Jordan's 2021 film Without Remorse last evening. While he did a masterful job as the action hero, the film was lacking in a credible story and weak plot line. Usually I promote films, I cannot with this one. Reviews from online sources are mixed at best.
Finally tried the Mandarin Orange Chicken that has been hanging around in my freezer for months. It was great. The sauce was superb. I can see why this is the most purchased frozen dish from Trader Joe's. At 3.99 it fed three hungry people with a side dish. Get this one if you can.
New day:
Watched Da 5 Bloods for the second time last night. It had more impact on me than before. It tells me that I know very little of the Black Experience of my era. Brilliant performances by the entire cast but especially DelRoy Lindo. He ripped out my heart and set it on fire. Should have received an Oscar nod. Earlier in the day we viewed Haichi, a dog film that was based on a true story from Japan meant to pull at the heart strings. The intent of the film was so transparent and telegraphed, I can only give it a big OK. But if you are an ardent dog lover, this is your Marley and Me.
Had lunch with kids with a soggy bunned burger from Bagger Daves, always hoping to be impressed but generally disappointed. They load too much stuff on the burger. Should probably be smart enough to get it plain, but usually fail to execute. Had nice conversations outside with some of the folks in the building and a good phone call with friend Pat Feeney that I haven't seen since the pandemic. He is feeling his age.
Tried an exercise on Facebook in that I see the same people all the time, really few of my friends. Got pretty good response but mostly from the folks I always see. A tech learned friend tells me there is no algorithm. He may be correct and only a very limited number of people participate in social media activities. The rest have a look only once and a while. I don't know.
Well the garbage trucks are making their rounds as of this writing and the sun is out. Getting ready for coffee with the cronies.
all for now
stay safe
get your shot if you haven't
