Message 807

Yesterday I watched two pre-season NFL games. I watched Oakland beat Chicago, and then in the evening I watched San Francisco beat the Vikings. It is rare to see both local teams win. I finished reading The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly, the book Ethan gave me. Mimi and I ate dinner in Palo Alto at a nice Vietnamese place called Tamarine on University Avenue.

Message 806

I had a quiet day at home yesterday. I finished The Economist and read quite a bit more of the book Ethan gave me. In the evening Mimi and I watched a couple of more episodes of Nurse Jackie.

Message 805

I just got back from having breakfast at El Cerrito with Mimi. Helen and Jim could not make it to Starbucks this morning. Last night we watched a DVD from Netflix. We watched the first two episodes of Nurse Jackie. It is a comedy with dark overtones about an emergency room nurse starring Edie Falco. It was quite good, so far. If it were a movie, I would give it four stars.

Message 804

I had a quiet day at home yesterday. In the evening Mimi and I watched The Sand Pebbles, an old Steve McQueen movie that I thought Mimi might enjoy because it is set in China. In fact, she did like it. I give it four stars.

Message 803

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi's Pies with Vanessa and Reggie. Mimi could not join us because she had a dentist appointment at 8 AM. Today was Vanessa's first time back since her surgery, so it was her turn to pick up the check. Next week, Henry will be back too from the East Coast, so we should all be back in our routine. Yesterday I finished reading Science, so I am back to what I think of as normal. It was sad to hear from Julie that her died last night after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease.
