Mimi and I just got back from having coffee at Starbucks with Helen and Jim. Last night we watched a DVD of the movie LA Confidential. Russell Crowe looks so young, it is amazing that it came out only ten years ago. I give it four stars. Vanessa is bringing Annie by for me to watch in a few minutes. Maybe I will take her to the park.

I just got back from having coffee at Starbucks with Vanessa and Beech. Vanessa had to take Beech for a speech evaluation at the hospital, so I walked back from Starbucks. Because it is downhill on the way back it is not so hard. I have now read about half of the book that Ethan gave me.

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi's Pies. It was just Reggie and me. Mimi could not come because she had to be at the nursing home early to meet with her mother's doctor. Vanessa is still recovering from her surgery. She can drive now, but because of that she has to forego her pain meds. Maybe next week she can join us.

Yesterday I ordered a book for my Kindle. I tried to order Abraham Lincoln by Ben Thomas. I have been trying to find this for years in used book stores, but with no luck. Unfortunately, Amazon did not have it either. It has been out of print for over fifty years, so it should be available for them. To test my Kindle, I ordered a Wilbur Smith book. I have probably already read it, but I have forgotten it.

Yesterday I read some more of the book Ethan gave me. I also read the instructions for the Kindle. I need to decide on a book to order. Mimi and I finished watching Disk 1 of Bliss. I have watched all of True Blood Season 2 except for a couple of commentaries on the last episode.

It was such a pleasant cool morning with thick fog that Mimi and I decided to walk up to Starbuck's for a coffee. It is a good thing I took my hat because by the time we walked back the sun was shining. Last night we watched a few more episodes of the series Bliss. It is OK, but I only give it three stars.

Yesterday I finished reading The Economist and read some more of the book Ethan gave me. In the evening Mimi and I watched the first couple of episodes of a new series from Netflix called Bliss.

Yesterday I finished watching Disk 4 of True Blood Season 2. In the evening Mimi and I went out to dinner with Larry and Judi and Ron and Marci. Afterward we went back to Ron and Marci's house and watched a DVD of the Japanese movie Depatures. It was the third time I have seen it and Mimi's second time, but it is such a good movie that we all enjoyed it very much. Because it was Marci's 65th birthday, Judi brought a cake from Prolific Oven to celebrate after the movie.
