The shame of a ‘dear’ friend. On almost every trip Lindsey Graham and John McCain made unusual requests. I love McCain with both his flaws, mistakes and heroism… but …
It’s also Yul Brynner’s bday… My inspiration 26 years ago when I first shaved my head .
500yd swim today to practice breath .. hyrox circuit and a little weights. Deciding to compete in my first triathlon at 56 … reminds me I have to challenge myself until they take my cane away at 100 if I am lucky. #fitness #fifties #agingfitness #fitsky
A bit thick for swimming & Almost drown training in pool today. Bad practice. Still trying to wade through which wrist tracker is best for me. In the meantime entertaining the lifeguards at the gym pools with “this is how you don’t train for a triathlon” unintentional comedy.
Locations in Portugalare as if Disneyworld, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Oz were real.
I think overwintering all the geraniums resulted in learning how Little Shop of Hirrors happened. This one by back door is 6 feet wide now
It use to be that only sometimes work and politics were unavoidable. Now it is every day. 11 stars? Is this just incompetence? Hard for me to grasp. Let’s hope this is just incompetence again.
When I spent time researching the 4th Reich for the indie “Pariah” back in 1995… the Confederate Battle Flag and the 11stars were used in a half a dozen white supremacy groups.
This little guy is getting his bike set up in Caldas da Rainha. This will be an interesting gig.
All evil ever is..is apathy. When it comes to American politics… anyone telling you there is still a big gray area… That is apathy making excuses not to have character, ethics..or factual patriotism. You are how you vote. You are how you don’t vote. You are how you support or deny that in others.
35 years ago… and I am a better athlete now than when I when I competed in college then.
Translating sections of 3 projects into Portuguese, Spanish, Mandarin, German, Farse and French for filming next year feels incredibly right now. Suddenly thinking globally authentic to tell better stories feels like I see where the step is that I am supposed to be stepping ..which I rarely see.
Check in on myself. Steam in locker room but still can tell I’m still a bit thicker now without the load around the waste... but not looking very triathlete-y. Maybe that is why I suck at the swim part. 🤡 but I am trying.
Gym tour continues as we figure out my training schedule as we move around so much and in each city. New gyms all have pros and cons. Here getting ready for pool. Finally motivated to train for tri.
The beginning of Jan 2024 I tagged @manmademoon.bsky.social on Twitter about the book. I guess I wasn’t the only one who grasped it would make a great film (in the hands of the right director) ..& funny Lisa Shue who I was in Leaving Las Vegas with (& who follows me (hi Lees) is in it. Love
Got back to Maine just in time to see the irises at sunrise before me going to the gym.
The perfect sum up picture of Lisbon. City of light and exercise. Makes San Francisco seem flat.
Throwing everything cliche “Don’t worry ..be happy.. life is stupid.. fuck the bad and definitely the good.. “ I got at you E.
Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone. (Douche-looking running version of myself)
The other house up in Orono (likely selling in the fall) … and no mow may. A sea of forget-me-nots, violets and dandelions.
Why I call this house “The House of Riverlight.” Live where magic lives. I will continue to search for those places. This place definitely taught me what that is.
