I just got back from Sharon Heights where I went to the bank and did my week’s Safeway shopping. I threw up a little bit when I got back, but my stomach was mostly empty, so I was able to contain it. Last night Josh brought in Boston Market food for us and watched the Sharks 3rd playoff game against LA. We were pretty discouraged when they fell behind 0-4, but we were thrilled when they came back and won the game in overtime 6-5 when Setoguchi scored. They now lead the series 2-1 and will play the fourth game in LA tomorrow night. In spite of throwing up, I feel pretty good today.

Yesterday I had a quiet day at home. In the evening I watched 60 Minutes, a Nature program on PBS about the big fire in Australia last year, and the next episode of Upstairs Downstairs. Now that spring is here it is getting warmer and the trees are mostly leafed out now. I expect that the rainy season is now mostly over. I continue to feel better.

Yesterday Vanessa and Annie drove me down to Los Gatos to visit with Jason, Susan, and the girls. Julian and Beech were skiing at Bear Valley. Jason was weeding his backyard and Annie and Ellie played up a storm with girl play. We came back at 12:30 PM so Vanessa could take Annie to Peter Pan. In the afternoon I finished reading The Economist. In the evening Jason came over and watched the Sharks game with me. They were terrible and lost 0-4 to the LA Kings, so the series is now tied 1-1. It was a downer to see them play so poorly.

Yesterday the nurse came by and checked me out and said I was doing well enough that I did not need her to come by anymore. So I am certified as getting better by the professionals. Last night I watched the Friday PBS shows and got started reading the new Economist. Charlie Rose had three chefs who have written books on his show, so I turned in early.

Yesterday I went with Vanessa and Annie to Stanford Plaza to walk around and look at the flowers and stores. We had Jamba Juice for a snack and a nice lunch at at one of the restaurants. In the evening I watched the Sharks beat the LA Kings in the first game of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It was a close hard fought game. The Sharks never trailed, but it was well into overtime before Pavelski scored and won the game for them 3-2. Jason and Joshua were at the game, so they saw a good one. Game two will be Saturday night.

I just had a shower and started a load of laundry. I am feeling good today. Last night I watched PBS shows about cars and about telescopes.

I just got back from having breakfast at El Cerrito and doing my Safeway shopping. When I got home I realized I had forgotten to buy more cranberry juice. Oh well. I can do without it until next time. Otherwise I am fine.
