Yesterday I had breakfast with Vanessa at Heidi's Pies. We took Annie to her daycare place. Now that she is two years she is getting too hard to control. I had to literally hold her down to get her dressed. As soon as she was dressed she settled down like nothing had happened, but she struggled like a wildcat trying to stop me from putting her clothes on. In the afternoon I took Beech to his Kung Fu class. He had a good day. He seems very dedicated to it. Afterward we went to Round Table next door and had pizza. He is getting very good at the game that picks up the stuffed animals and drops them in the bin that leads to the player. He won two of them to take home yesterday. Of course, he now owes me nine dollars for the extra money I have given them over the weeks to let him keep playing on this machine, even though I tell him it is a gyp. He says he will do chores for his mother to earn the money to pay me.

In the evening I tried to watch a DVD, but I could not make it work in either of my players. I have previously had broken or cracked disks that would not play, but this is the first one that seemed visibly OK but would not work. Netfilx will send me another copy. Instead I watched the DVD that Tim Ferris sent me of Eric Burden and the New Animals. It has been years since I first saw it at his house with Ginny and Jason. I also read some more of the NSA history book. It is about people and things that I know something about.
