IT MIGHT BE AWHILE BEFORE I DO THAT AGAIN

After my evening stranded in Shipshewana, I managed to get up early and spend two hours on the hotel elliptical machine prior to breakfast. Late in the day, after I returned home to Chicago, I had a hankering to return to the elliptical machine. I used the wifi in the fitness room to watch a movie on netflix - Escape From L.A.  As it turns out, the movie was not that great. It is a sequel to a movie that I have never seen - Escape From New York. Only the sequel is available on netflix. The 90 minute movie lined up great with my 90 minute workout. Later in the evening, it was time to watch the Republican Debate on CNN. While I was considering watching this latest slugfest, I chose instead to return to the fitness room and listen to the debate over the radio. There is a TV in the fitness room but the sound is not loud enough to really hear what everyone was saying - so I just concentrated on listening to the debate on my phone (iheartradio) with my headphones. When the day ended, I realized that I had spent FIVE HOURS on an elliptical machine. It might be awhile before I do that again! It is a dubious accomplishment and I am proud of myself that I had enough energy to do this in one day. It was a somewhat ridiculous endeavor - but I fell asleep quite quickly last evening.

BETTER CALL SAUL

The other day I was talking about binge-watching Longmire on Netflix. I was saying that I was not a good candidate to watch episodic TV week after week. A perfect example of this inability to watch a TV show at a designated time was a show that premiered on AMC last winter, Better Call Saul. Better Call Saul is a spinoff prequel which focuses on the life of the popular character, Saul Goodman prior to the events that took place in Breaking Bad. As the premier date approached last year, I was looking forward to this show.  I did manage to watch the premiere and I managed to watch one more show and then I either forgot about it, or my schedule prevented me from keeping up with it and I did not continue with it. This week I have been focused on my training on the AMT elliptical at my local YMCA which has excellent wifi.  I was very pleased to discover on February 1, that all 10 episodes of Season 1 of this show 'dropped' on Netflix. Finally, I have the chance to watch this show, and my two hour workouts zip by faster than ever. Season 2 of this show begins on television towards the middle of this month. I am going to try (and probably fail) to watch the show on a weekly basis. And if I fail, I can look forward to the next 10 episodes appearing on Netflix next year.
