-- 12:25a  Bed
--   8:25a  Up
--   9:00a  Leaving to bike, then pickup breakfast @McD;  Also went to Dollar Tree.
-- 10:10a  Inside after biking 2+2;  Breakfast @home: apple raisin oatmeal + sausage biscuit
-- 11:17a  Inside after biking 4 mi;  ... "The View"
-- 11:32a  Skim Ch2 news
-- 11:42a  +"Equalizer, The"

>>> 12:38p  "East New York" (Metacritic: 67, 63-70, #4)
One review said it "seeks to bring the cop show into the 21st century."
I've been ignoring most cop shows.  I didn't watch "Hill Street Blues" or "Chicago PD".
I gave up on "Blue Bloods" after the 1st season.
~~  I was easily able to find the location of the opening scene on Google Maps at 
Livonia Ave & Ashford St.
~~  They closed the case but I don't really care about any of the details.  I don't know if
I should bother giving this show a chance.  Are NYC criminals required to keep their
activities within a precinct?

--   1:02p - 1:34p  Carla called on her way to pickup Jeremy & Alison at the airport.
--   3:40p  Leaving via bike for dinner @Mission BBQ: pulled pork
It seemed warm enough on the way there but there seemed to be a cold headwind on the way back.
So, after 4 mi, I was home and put on my jacket and biked another 4 mi around subdivision.
I think I'm going to stop eating BBQ -- it's gotten too expensive and it's just not worth that much.
--   5:09p  Inside;  Total 16 mi today
--   5:33p  Finally called the Alumni Assoc who has been sending me cards for a month about their
desire to update records and take an oral history, but I can't imagine that they will be using any
of my answers.  They were really trying to sell a package of the actual history together with 
a tote bag and sweatshirt but I declined.
--   5:36p  "Inside Edition";  There was a Jenny on "Jeopardy".
Another contestant got the final answer correct except for the last syllable of the
5-word answer, which he just didn't have time to complete, so he came in last place,
but he wouldn't have won anyway.
--   6:05p  Skim Ch7 news
--   7:17p  "ET"

>>>   7:59p  "Family Law"
One critic said, "It’s a light-hearted legal drama that is fine but totally unessential."
I'm not sure what would make any specific show "essential".
~~  This Canadian show has a father-daughter legal team.  Another such (US) show was "Bluff City Law"
where the father was Jimmy Smits, and I just saw him on "East New York" today.
~~  There is an actress named <b>Genelle</b> and a guest actress, <b>Jennifer Robertson</b>
~~  The law firm seems to be in the Marine Building in downtown Vancouver.
In 1930 it was the tallest building (22 stories) in the British Empire.  I didn't
realize that it was also used as the Daily Planet building in "Smallville".
~~  I suppose I'll keep watching, although it's often silly.

-- 10:17p  Skim Ch5 news
-- 10:37p  "Stephen Colbert"
-- 10:50p  "Jimmy Kimmel";  First time audience is not wearing masks
