Late morning. You have to see Dr. G., your nephrologist,
on Thursday and forgot to have your blood tests until this morning. Once you
returned you spent an hour moving the tree limb remains that Tim and others had
piled up by the garage. A windstorm had come through a few days ago and dropped
a fairly large limb on your neighbor’s (to the north) driveway just missing a
car in the process. Tim King and others removed the limb and debris and placed
it in your driveway. Tim called as you were coming home to tell you about it so
you wouldn’t wonder upon pulling in the driveway. It was mostly cut up with a
chain saw but you still had to do so hand sawing to make it presentable for the
city crew who picks up such things once a month in Spring, Summer and Fall. –

hours. When Tim called we were at the Artistic Center in Berea, Kentucky. Our
limb was big enough but when he called and said five guys helped cut it down to
size and move it from her driveway, I thought it was going to be a foot thick
but it was only about eight inches. There were lots of small branches and
entanglements though and I had to cut them down to manageable lengths. The tree
is a Boxer, a weed tree basically; it came with our property on the south edge
of Muddy Creek woods. Anyway, it took a while but now that’s done. Carol is out
weeding her flower garden. The Avalon is finally put in the garage and I pulled
the Accord out for local driving. It hasn’t been run for a couple of weeks or
so.
You had left over Papa John’s pizza for
lunch and watched the last season episode of “Blacklist” which you both
consider better put-together than a lot of major films today. – Amorella

The Blacklist is an American crime drama television series that premiered on
NBC on September 23, 2013. Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader), a
former U.S Navy officer turned high-profile criminal, voluntarily surrenders to
the FBI after eluding capture for decades. He tells the FBI that he has a list of the
most dangerous criminals in the world that he has compiled over the years and
is willing to guide their operations in exchange for immunity. However, he
insists on working exclusively with a rookie profiler by the name of Elizabeth
Keen (Megan Boone). The show also stars Diego Klattenhoff, Ryan Eggold and
Harry Lennix.
Premise
Raymond
"Red" Reddington, a former officer of the United States Navy who
disappeared twenty years earlier, before becoming one of the FBI Ten Most
Wanted Fugitives, surrenders himself to Assistant Director Harold Cooper at FBI
Headquarters in Washington D.C. Taken to an FBI “black site”, Reddington claims
to share the FBI's interest in getting rid of criminals and terrorists he has
associated with, that are so dangerous and devious that Cooper is unaware even
of their existence. He offers Cooper his knowledge and assistance on two
conditions: immunity from prosecution, and working exclusively with Elizabeth
Keen, a rookie profiler newly assigned to Cooper. Keen and Cooper are
suspicious of Reddington's interest in her, but he will only say that she is
"very special". After Cooper tests Reddington's offer in locating and
killing a terrorist in the first episode, Reddington reveals that this man was
only the first on his "blacklist" of global criminals, which he has
compiled over his criminal career, and states that he and the FBI have a mutual
interest in eliminating them.
As the series progresses, the mysteries of
Reddington's and Liz's lives, and his interest in her, are revealed slowly.
Twists are introduced involving other characters.

hours. Wow. What a conclusion to the second season. Reddington and Liz Keen are
on the run with Liz Keen, now understanding more about her childhood resting
her head on Reddington’s shoulder; Tom Keen, Elizabeth’s husband, is also on
the run in a separate direction, leaving the now former Assistant FBI Director
Harold Cooper to fret in the loose ends. What a wonderfully written, directed
and acted series. I cannot help but wonder what is going to happen to all four,
Raymond Reddington, Elizabeth Keen, Harold Cooper and Tom Keen. In my opinion, this
is the way more television entertainment should be, well written and well
acted. You are entitled to your own opinion and are welcome to it.
Let’s put a bite on this, in a fantasy would
you rather be James Bond or Raymond Reddington? – Amorella

hours. Raymond Reddington, I would rather be Reddington. I am surprised at my
response. At first, without much thought, I answered Bond but I am no James
Bond. I am no Raymond Reddington either but I have more in common with him. I
could pretend to be him in my head but I do not have the sophistication of
Bond. No use even contemplating it. I am not a ladies man. I have a sense of
Reddington’s character, that is, I could ‘think’ such a fictional character.
That’s all I have.
This shows one of your weaknesses, boy. You
