Yesterday I read about half of The Economist, and watched as much football as I could. The Raiders were blacked out, and the 49ers do not play until tonight, so I mostly watched the Bears beat the Cowboys. Jason called and helped me get the file with my memoirs transferred to my new computer. It will be easier to work on now. I bought Microsoft Office so I could escape the slowness of the old computer. Mimi and I had dinner at The Sizzler in Redwood City. It must be fifteen years or more since I ate there. In the evening we watched 60 Minutes and then the second part of the history of dogs on PBS. I then watched the new Inspector Lewis episode on Masterpiece Mystery.

Yesterday Julian came by with Annie and took me to lunch at Una Mas. In the evening Mimi and I tried to have dinner at Sundance, but because of the Stanford football game we could not even get in the parking lot. So we went to the Plaza Hotel in Mountain View. The were having a large Indian wedding, so we were part of a colorful crowd. They no longer have the early bird special on weekends, but we had good steaks from the regular menu. My blood test showed that I am a little anemic, so I figured I should eat more red meat. I will try to fine some iron pills when I go to Safeway today. In the evening we watched a couple of more episodes from Disk 2 of the PBS documentary on the Vietnam War.

I am still improving health wise, so I think my new pills are working. Yesterday I bought Microsoft Office for my HP computer so I can use Word to work on my memoirs on my new computer. I need Jason to help me get the file transferred over the local area network. It would be easy if both computers had Windows 7, but the old Dell has Windows XP Professional, which was pretty good in its day, but it is now obsolete. I have found it is not really convenient to work on my memoirs in the guest room.

Last night Mimi and I watched Disk I of of an old PBS documentary about the war in Vietnam. This first disk covers up to the assassination of President Kennedy, shortly after he agreed to the assassination of the President of Vietnam and his brother.

I am continuing with my pills, and I continue to feel better. I heard from my doctor that my blood tests show that I am anemic. She has scheduled to have me repeat the test in a month. Last night I watched to opera La Rondine on PBS. It is by Puccini, but I had never heard of it. The cast was very good though.

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi's Pies with Mimi and Reggie. Vanessa was too busy to make it, but Mimi and I stopped by her house and said Hi on the way home. Last night Mimi and I watched a DVD of a documentary movie about the Vietnam war called Long Time Coming. I give it 3.5 stars. I have had four pills now and they seem to be helping.

My fever came back again yesterday at 5 PM. It seems I am on a regular schedule, but this time I took Ibuprpphin right away and within a couple of hours the fever had broken. I got the results of my urinalysis online, but I will nee to contact my doctor before I know what they mean. I am still waiting for the results of my blood test. Chris and Mary called me yesterday so I have gone ahead and reserved Coastal Delight fro the week of 9-16 July 2011.

My fever came back about 5 PM yesterday, so I went to bed. I feel OK today. I should hear the lab results tomorrow or the next day. Mary called me this morning and told me Sandbridge will be the week after the 4th of July this year. I think we will stay in Coastal delight.
