Today's movie was a potboiler about private cops and corporate malfeasance mixed with e-terrorists. The East (2013) is the eco-terrorism group and the film makes the relentless point that neither the corporate villains or the eco-guys are very nice. It is all self interest and shit. The movie is hard to believe which, as a starter, makes it difficult to take the issues seriously. They are serious. But the idea of a corporate cop working undercover comes to believe the cultish stuff that runs the group while falling in love with the mastermind guru is too great a stretch. I skipped FF and so it is a 2 out of Netflix5.

So I am submitting my application for the Board of our HOA (Home Owners Association). Three seats are up for re-election and they had no applications. They were unable to recruit anyone. So, I will stand. I have to be elected and, goddamit, I suppose I will have to go to some meetings, at least the December 14 annual meeting. For some reason, I can't think of any reason not to apply or nominate myself and several reasons to do it. For one, I would make a real calm head on a drama ridden board although things have quieted down some in recent years. Here is the text. I had 50 words max. MIT graduate, developer of management training programs, founder of an international consulting company. Retired Palm Springs 1997. Full time resident Rose Garden 3 years. Observer, admirer and critic of HOA management willing to devote time and energy in service to the community. No axes to grind.. I would vote for me!
