  Watched the first three episodes of The Wheel Of Time on Amazon Prime.  It's not Game Of Thrones by any means, but it doesn't have to be.  The pilot is okay, but the characters seem to shine a little more in episodes two and three.

  As a sidebar, I had a lot getting through even a couple of the WOT books.  I found Martins' novels a better read, and that's a scary sentence to type out.

  Currently watching the Cowboy Bebop remake on Netflix.  John Cho doesn't scream Spike to me in any way shape or form, but the casting for Jet Black is fantastic.

Wheel of Time ended with a dud. Whole season felt rushed. Character development not great.

Foundation was a little better, but a hard book to adapt.

Invasion cost Apple 200 million dollars. It looked expensive, but really held back with the aliens. And also Jurassic Park actor was gone in an instant.

Anna (Sky Italia/AMC+) was a very good pandemic show, everyone dies after puberty, so it's kind of Lord of the Flies, some tough scenes to stomach, but worth the watch.

Halfway through Station Eleven and it's also a good pandemic show although not as "uplifting" as the reviews made it out to be.

Binged half of nordic noir detective show Wisting because Carrie Anne Moss - Trinity - was in it and it's pretty good but standard scandi-noir.

Cowboy Bebop got panned, but enjoying more than most halfway through.

Probably gonna rewatch Band of Brothers, again, because almost finished listening to official podcast. Looking forward to Masters of the Air next year hopefully.

Succession of course, was, well, Succession. Great score, third season, composer is definitely not dialing it in. Gotta get the algo guys to check my code!

Oddly enough, I was just saying to a friend I'm long overdue on a rewatch of that.  I did burn through Carnivale over the x-mas season.  I saw a trailer for a third season and just about stroked out until I realized it was a fanmade version.

I've been enjoying Station Eleven as well.  It's weird, but I like it.

Yellowjackets has been a fun watch so far, although I much prefer the Lord Of The Flies stuff more than the present day storyline.

I tried starting season two of the Witcher, but I struggled to get into it.  I'll give it another shot soon.

Great series.

 

I don't live far from Toccoa where the initial training was. I took my grandson, who is a fan of the military, to the Currahee Museum this past summer. It also had a special meaning for me because I was a paratrooper in the Army.

I'm reading 200 to 250 million was spent on Masters of the Air. Wow. Apple and Amazon pouring money into the tv shows.

I confess I haven't read all 117 pages so it might have been mentioned previously and I'll probably lose my status as most macho guy on the golf course but my wife and I like the Netflix show "Queer Eye". After all the weirdness and violence - particularly in the last few years - it's kind of refreshing watching people be nice to each other. I will admit, though, that there's enough sugar there to send a healthy person into prediabetic mode.

I initially thought this was a movie, given the lead cast, I guess it's basically a long movie broken up into 6 acts or how many ever episodes. Seems like the content creators are gong through all the scammy companies - Theranos, uhhhh, I forget, there are few of them I'm sure. Wework is still operating though. I know people who work there, but man, I hate that company.

5 episodes into Reacher. Not a bad show. So far I would like to get another season to see how it progresses. It kept my interest.

We binged Reacher this weekend.   It peaked our interest from the first episode and didn't disappoint thru the last one.   The humor, action and interaction of the characters was very good.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Finished La Fortuna (AMC+), even though the series hasn't technically completely aired/streamed in the US yet. Great mix of pirates, history, drama. Stanley Tucci, Clarke Peters (The Wire) and some good Spanish actors I've never heard of.

Also finished Station Eleven (HBO Max). This and Anna helped me process the pandemic a little better.

FInished French miniseries, L'effondrement/The Collapse. 8 episodes, 15 minute episodes, riveting interrelated vignettes about what happens after society melts down. It's not available in the US, found a version that slipped the copyright protection on Vimeo. Unfortunately no subtitles, but I have subtitle files, ask and ye shall receive. Third "pandemic" series in as many months, lol. This is exactly what I wanted World War Z to be, bigger budget.

Severance was so good. Going through Severance withdrawal.

Slow Horses started slowly but last episode was very good.

Pachinko started strong, only watched 3 episodes, heard the fourth wasn't as good.

Picard is fun. A major actor reveal in episode 7.

    • Day 34 - 2024-11-03 Ten minutes of work before Junior Elite this morning. Woke up "early" because of the time change.
    • Day 185 (03 Nov 24) - More work with the irons, well just the 6i, hitting into the net focused on setup and tempo.  Really more about the latter rather than former.  Slowed tempo to more of short punch swing, contact much improved.  
    • I ended up playing Shingle Creek GC in Orlando bc what I found online said The Magnolia Course had some temporary greens and/or teeboxes.  It was just a month after Hurricane Milton, though Orlando was mostly spared. Shingle Creek was only 2.5 miles from our hotel, so very convenient.  The entire course was in great shape, and the staff was friendly.  I shot a ho-hum 82 from 6300 yds, mostly bc my putting currently sucks.  We didn't stay for lunch bc my wife and I had massages booked at the hotel and we were on a time crunch.
    • Well this has been a disaster of a summer, regarding playing. Played the least amount of golf in a summer since 2008. Yips on short game to partial wedges came in full hog. Full swing continued to be ok. Putting was the best part of my game. Handicap went from +2.5 to now 0.0. The number of rounds were low because I taught much more. Numbers are up over 50% from last year. A great thing but my own game was sacrificed and it annoys me a little. Short game really suffered from lack of play and practice.  I had rounds where I would lay sod over the ball, from the rough with a decent lie, looking at a simple chip from barely off green uphill to a pin. It would happen several times a round. I resorted to putting or using a 2iron to chip with. Obviously the less short game shots meant full swing was good. But, if it was off a little, I was screwed. My right wrist, elbow and knee all buckled and jerked right before impact. I couldn’t stop it. Tried everything I could think of. I went through a week occasionally that something would work, but never stuck. I remember not even having a club in hand. Just looking down at the ball and knowing I was in trouble.  A couple weeks ago, I watched a short game chef video on chipping and it has really helped turn my short game around. Yips aren’t completely gone, but very minimal now. Most of my issues now are distance control as the flight is slightly different. It was clear that I was too steep before. But I also realized I was decelerating quite a bit and trying to compress it for spin. Now, I’m much more neutral in setup. I’m really focusing in the very beginning of my take away and making my chest do everything there. If hands do anything to start, it will be a yip chunk or skull. I’m Trying to take shorter backswings and accelerate more through the ball without a feeling of “compressing” it. Allowing my draw biased motion to do its thing.  It’s resulting in much higher ball flights which means distance control up to 75yds will have to be reworked. The ball still has plenty of spin. I’m also able to use any club now to chip with versus feeling stuck with one.  My goal this off season is to try and break 60 from the forward tees at my home course. It will focus my game on tee shots and short game. Putting has become almost second nature and am not worried about it. Most of all, I need to figure out a better balance next year between work and play. Maintaining a high level of play is important to me (especially to my stress levels 😆).
