FollowI stayed up a bit too late enjoying the much shorter NASCAR All-Star Race tonight. Good fun and not many cautions until the last fifteen laps where it got very interesting. It’s a nice change of pace before the Coca-Cola 600 next week also in Charlotte. And congratulations Kevin Harvick on winning a million dollars. Although I would have loved to see Daniel Suarez win.
The Ecq Review

Really well written and acted. Bill Hader is an excellent actor and Stephen Root and Henry Winkler are having a lot of fun.
Although, I’m not sure actor is the best career move after hitman. Slightly different public profiles.

A very hard documentary to watch. I didn’t think of how closed the Hasidic community in places like Brooklyn, NYC are. The shunning of people trying to leave the community reminds me a lot of Scientology actually.
Abuse should not be tolerated, and sometimes police really do need to be involved. I hope things get better and abusers are prosecuted in the Hasidic community. It sounds like they don’t want police involved in their affairs but, you shouldn’t allow abusive people to keep jobs with children or get custody. It’s vile. Good but very hard to watch and on Netflix.
The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck by Sarah Knight
Good and fun read. And actually practical. We only have so much energy, time and money. If we spend less if it on stuff we don’t care about we will be happier. And it’s okay to say no to things just to watch Netflix and get Chinese food.

Sometimes a movie can just be an enjoyable 2 hours and that’s great.
Good music, good acting and good fun.
There is a reason we love the movies.
Especially without being annoying at the movie theater.
