Yesterday I finished reading The Economist and also this week’s Science. In the afternoon Josh brought in food from Boston Market and watched the hockey game with me. Unfortunately the Sharks lost to the St. Louis Blues 0-3. The Blues are playing so well now that even when the Sharks had a power play they generally could not even get a shot on goal. The Sharks never had a five on three power plays, but the Blues had three of them and were able to score on two and finally scored an empty netter at the end of the game to give them the 0-3 win. After hockey we watched NBA basketball with the Warriors playing Houston. Even though Houston is a very good team, the Warriors are playing at such a high level, especially with 3-point shooting, that they were able to win a hard-fought game. Later in the evening I watched a two-hour episode of Downton Abbey on PBS. I thought it was going to be the last of the series because just like the end of the original Upstairs Downstairs series the Spanish flu after World War One killed off one of the women characters and resolved some of the plot questions, but it turned out that the series will continue next week. I feel good today.
