So I was in a hot tub today with an older lady (and I know I should pause for a while to savor all the ways this story can go before remembering who is writing this), and she started talking about politics. I was at the gym, and as I like to do after walking, using the machines, and swimming, I soak a little in the hot tub before hitting the dry sauna and then taking a cold shower. And she started talking about politics and said a couple of mostly inoffensive things about the tragedy and then said “But I am glad we got Biden out of there.” And I was polite, but stood my ground and said “I’m not. Trump is an awful human being and I would take Biden back in a heartbeat.” And then we talked about something else- I think we started babbling about how the tub wasn’t hot enough or how the food sucks and the portions are too small, but I wonder if that is the first time someone has ever pushed back, even though it was ever so polite.
At any rate, just another day here in WV. got some work done early, moved for a few hours, went to the pool for a few hours, and am now watching season 2 of the Bridge. OH WAIT DINNER:
We are rapidly approaching the time of year I have to buy chapstick because I give myself sores on the sides of my mouth from eating too many tomatoes and peaches.
Back to the Bridge- I am really enjoying it. Of course I love Ted Levine (known to many of you as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer from Monk, know but the rest of you sickos as “It puts the lotion on its skin” from the Silence of the Lambs), and Diane Kruger is great, and I have always always always liked Matthew Lillard (you know he was in Serial Mom?), but one performance that has really stood out is Ramon Franco as Faustos Galvan. I didn’t like the casting at first but man he has really changed my mind. Really great performance of an amoral scumbag. And Stephanie Sigman may be one of the most beautiful people on the planet.
Good show.
Be kind to each other please.
