Yesterday I took a shower and did laundry. I also did my week’s shopping at Safeway. In the late afternoon I had dinner at El Cerrito with Larry and Judi. In the evening I watched a Netflix DVD of the movie Tron: Legacy. It was OK, but I was not too impressed by it, so I give it only 2.7 stars. I have heard on TV that the Sharks will play Detroit tomorrow (Friday). If Josh does not get tickets for the game, he will probably come watch with me. I feel good today.

Yesterday I read Science and watched PBS shows on TV. In the Evening I watched a DVD of the movie Never Let Me Go. It was a science fiction based on a book by a Japanese writer. It was about raising children in a school so they could be used as organ donors. I thought it was too implausible to suspend disbelief. I give it 2.8 stars. I feel good again today.

Joshua brought in pizza and watched the Sharks game with me. The Sharks never trailed, but every time the Kings tied the score Josh would go crazy. I was afraid the neighbors would complain. It all turned out well. Joe Thornton scored the winning goal in overtime, so the Sharks won the series 4-2 and will move on to the next round. Three of the Sharks victories came in overtime. I had a good sleep last night, so I feel good again today.

Yesterday I drove to San Mateo to have Easter brunch. Vanessa’s brother was there with his two kids (his wife was home sick) and Maureen was there with Gary. I was able to pass on a three months supply of The Economist to Maureen. The kids had a great time hunting Easter eggs and Julian and Vanessa had prepared great food. It was the first time I had driven that far, but the traffic was light and I had no trouble. In the late afternoon Jason picked me up and drove me to Umbach’s for Easter dinner, so I ate out twice in one day. Jason and his family gave me a ride home in time to watch the new episode of Upstairs Downstairs. I feel good again today.

Yesterday afternoon Jason picked me up and drove me to Los Gatos.for dinner. Marty and Kathleen and Ryan were in town and were there too along with Jamie and Chelsea and the twins. Joshua showed up too. After dinner we watched the Sharks lose to LA. They gave up three quick goals in the first period and lost the game 1-3. They now lead the series 3-2 and play Monday night in LA. I feel good today.

I just got back from meeting Helen and Jim at Starbucks. It is the first time I have been up to meeting them there since I went into the hospital. It is good to be back in my old routine again. I don’t drink coffee anymore, so I had a hot chocolate. For some reason The Economist came on Thursday this week instead of Friday, so I finished reading it last night after the Friday PBS shows were over.
