Well…just watching the national anthem being sung by Aretha Franklin at the Lions game and her accompanist is playing a B-3…and it even has the Leslie speaker…..so add another one to the B-3 count…

Well…damn, broke something under the car yesterday when I went out to meet K for a couple….sounds like a pipe hanger or a motor mount since something bangs when I start it….oh, well…car still drives fine so I’m not going to worry about it today…had a nice lunch with T yesterday that lasted quite a while and had a lot of laughs in it…but didn’t do anything else all day until I met up with K….and today is going to be just cooking and watching football…I did go out and get the 10 pound newspaper that was a waste of time and money…..never going to read one again….didn’t win the powerball last night so Saturday’s will be over 400 million….I need to win it….more later….

Well…running a little late today with getting the turkey in the brine a few minutes ago….used rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, brown sugar and some veggie broth this year just for a little change….haven’t used sage before but it smelled so good that I had to add it….we’ll see tomorrow….feel quite a bit better today but I was recovering yesterday enough to get out on the bike…it was a chore and my lungs felt like they were at half capacity but had lots of energy when I got back….and I slept well last night….all of the covers were still on the bed and I don’t remember tossing too much so it must have been a good night…..I did get out and got everything I needed for t-day so I don’t have to do anything else but just cook tomorrow…I do have lunch with T today and I will be making some cash so that will start the weekend on a high note….but I am going to take it easy this morning and just have my coffee…oh, and work out but coffee first…more later….
Westworld and Humans….
Well…still staying away from politics for a while so I need new things to talk about…so I guess I’ll talk about a couple of shows that I have been watching lately, Westworld and Humans….I find it odd that two shows with basically the same premise: what it is to be human…are on at the same time. I guess that most stories have been told already so maybe that is why these are repeaters….in both series, the artificial humans are going through the same process of self awareness and the questions are asked of what is it to be human…and what rights they have, along with the idea of what responsibilities do humans have to them once they become sentient…or do they have any? It isĀ an interesting concept and it is worlds away from the idea from the 1973 Westworld movie where the robots basically went crazy and started killing everyone at the amusement park where they were deployed…I wonder if that is going to happen in Westworld the tv show? I know in Humans, the artificial humans have started to defend themselves from arbitrary death that seems to be only a moment away and that is another interesting concept…do they have the right to do that? I’ve always liked thought provoking stories whether they are in books, in films, or on tv….at least it gives me something other than politics to talk about….
November 22nd
Well…this damn bug is confusing me…I thought it was the flu but started feeling better after 3 days and today I feel okay…even got out already to get the rest of the stuff I need for t-day…just a little cough and sweating so I hope I continue to feel better…even feel good enough that I am going to dig out the thermasuit and get out on the bike today…going to have lunch with T tomorrow and I am looking forward to that…and I am going to make some cash, too, so that makes it even better….I didn’t get to t-day in shorts since I put jeans on this morning with it being 21 degrees and having this bug…and I knew I needed to put fuel in the car and that wouldn’t have been good….one good thing is that my back pain is gone and I wonder if it had something to do with the bug….maybe I was sick last week and just didn’t recognize it…I do need to clean out my freezer today to make room for the turkey carcass and get all of the dishes cleaned for Thursday…one of my storage containers has disappeared and I can’t figure out where it went…oh, well….more later…
Three days and two weeks…
Well….haven’t been on the bike in three days…just can’t take the cold right now but I think I’ll try tomorrow….have been feeling crappy enough that I just want to rest….I am waiting for the coughing to start from this bug…not bad yet but I know it’s coming….and I have been out of the world now for two weeks…and it just dawned on me that this is the longest time since I was five that I haven’t read a newspaper….but, it’s already saved me 52 bucks so I guess I can live with it…I am going to really try to get back to topics that mean something in the next few days…at least I hope so…
November 21st
Well…it keeps getting worse and I feel pretty crappy this morning….and the thing I don’t understand is that I’m never around people anymore so how do I continue to get these bugs? I wonder if my immune system is compromised by not being around people and being exposed to the bugs? All I know is that I’m going back to the couch and having more water…need to rest….more later…
This…
“The roof is leaking and the wind is howling…the kids are crying since the sheets are so cold…woke this morning and my hands were frozen…tried to fix the fire but the damn things’s too old….but me, I’m getting stronger by the minute….”
Now I know why I hurt….
Well…earlier, I couldn’t figure out why I hurt again…now I know…have been going down hill all day in how I feel…now I am exhausted and hot and feel pretty crappy….so, it sounds like flu to me…..ick….
November 20th
Well…it was a busy day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…I think I have enough cash in the drawer now to get through December and that takes a load off…I now know that my morning back pain must be caused by how I’m sleeping…the pain was gone yesterday and now it’s back this morning…and I skipped the bike ride yesterday so it can’t be that…and it looks like I’m going to skip again today with it being cold and really windy and I’m just not ready for that yet…I will try to find the entire thermasuit today, though, so I can get out tomorrow…..was in the car for three hours yesterday and that is tiring but today looks like just sports and vegging…I do need to clean the kitchen to get ready for thurs and that sounds like all I’ll do today….more later…
