Ternaugh

Coincidentally, I just finished listening to the full album.

Diver Down by Van Halen.

At lunch the other day, my boss, co-worker, and I were talking about 2001. The co-worker is very excited to see it*, but both my boss and I counseled him that it is a slow movie that takes its time, and he may end up not liking it. It's okay if he doesn't. *I had shown him part of the stargate sequence. It's a hell of a drug.

The Mask: Jim Carrey finds a magic item that turns him into a living Tex Avery cartoon character. Still a good watch. (Hulu) 2001: A Space Odyssey: The Sci-Fi classic, it looks gorgeous in 4K. (4K UHD) Fant4stic: It couldn't decide if it wanted to be a comic book movie or body horror, and doesn't really commit to either. I watched it so you don't have to. (Disney+) My Cousin Vinny: Two yutes from Brooklyn are accused of murder in a small Alabama town, and are defended by Vinny, who has just passed the New York Bar after 6 tries. Great movie that holds up very well. (Hulu) Race to Witch Mountain: A muddled story mars this apparent reboot attempt of the Witch Mountain movies. This one's not that good. (Disney+)

The hotel/casino where I work is requiring everyone to wear masks, or they don't get entry. Unfortunately, a number of guests have decided that they don't have to cover their nose, and a few others have the mask only on their chin.

In the Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra. The entire album is excellent, and gets played frequently by me.

Disney's Tarzan: If I had seen this one, it was a long time ago. The animation's interesting, and the music and story are good. (Disney+) Tangled: A favorite of mine, and one that I was lucky to share with my Mom before she passed. Personality-wise, the Mother Gothel character was very much like my Grand-Mere (her mother). Thankfully, Mom wasn't. (Disney+) Modern TImes: The last "Little Tramp" movie by Charlie Chaplin. Worth a watch. (Kanopy)

More Stanley Clarke:

"Be well them for me."

Senator Warner added a clause to a defense appropriations bill that would require political campaigns to report foreign interference, but the Republicans struck the language out of the bill. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-biden-russia/biden-attacks-republicans-for-blocking-law-on-foreign-election-interference-idUSKBN2413OW
