Yesterday I read more of my new book on my Kindle. It is titled “Legend” by Marie Lu. I saw her interviewed on Tavis Smiley. She is a Chinese American girl in her twenties who said she was influenced by Enders Game and decided to write her book in the evenings while she worked for a video game company. Now that it has been published she has quit her job and is writing full time on the sequel. Yesterday in the late afternoon Jason and Josh came over to watch the Sharks beat Vancouver in an overtime shoot out. We also watched Stanford lose to Oklahoma State in their bowl game. Stanford was never behind, but their freshman kicker missed a field goal which sent the game into overtime in which Stanford missed another field goal but Oklahoma made theirs and won. Jason brought beer and Josh brought Mexican food which we shared. I was glad to see on the news that Oregon won the Rose Bowl. I feel good today.

Yesterday I read the new Science and watched three NFL games. I was delighted to see the 49ers beat the Rams and clinch a bye for next week. Josh came over and brought sandwiches from Boston Market and watched the Raiders lose to San Diego with me. That cost them a spot in the playoffs. In the evening I watched Dallas lose to the Giants. I was happy to see Dallas lose because they had an undeserved victory against the 49ers earlier in the season. After the games, I started reading my new book on my Kindle. It is quite good. I will tell you more about it later. I feel good today.
