Yesterday I got a call from Reggie Young, my friend fro Heidi’s Pies. He wanted to know how I am and said everyone keeps asking about me. I filled him in on what has been happening for the past couple of months, and he said he would come by and drive me to Heidi’s Pies anytime I feel up to going again. We agreed to plan on it next Thursday, that is a week from today. It should be fun. Last night Joshua came over with a coupon for half off at Sizzler, so we ate dinner there. He is working late trying to get ready to fly to Amsterdam tomorrow. He will be there a week, and when he gets back he will drive to a series of Phish concerts in LA and elsewhere., so I won’t see him again for a while. When I got home I watched a PBS show about Arctic dinosaurs. Charlie Rose had an unusually good show last night. I feel good again today.

Marilyn Snowden called me last night and I promised her I would include her on my daily Email. If Marilyn wants to see the same message on my blog she can see it at http://rpb3athome.blogspot.com/. Yesterday I took a shower and did a load of laundry. Last night I watched another episode of True Blood Season 3. I will watch the other episode on the disk tonight, maybe. I feel good again today.

I feel better today. I have been getting a lot of sleep and plenty to eat. Last night I watched a Nature program about crows and Masterpiece Mystery on PBS. My missing issue of The Economist finally showed up, and I have read it. The next day the new issue came, and I have started reading it too.

Yesterday Joshua brought food from Boston Market for lunch. In the late afternoon I joined Julian and Vanessa and the kids for dinner at their favorite Mexican restaurant in San Mateo. In the evening I watched a double feature on PBS. The first film was Run Silent, Run Deep a WW2 submarine story with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. I had seen it years ago, but had forgotten almost all of it. I give it 4 stars. The second film was Gorky Park. I read the book years ago, but I had not seen the movie. I was a cold war thriller, murder mystery. I give it three stars. I feel good today except for a runny nose which has been coming on for the last few days.

I suppose that all of those who stayed for the second week at Sandbridge have now moved out and are on their way home. Yesterday was the last day for my caregivers, so I am on my own. Yesterday I read The Economist. For some reason The Economist did not come last week. It was probably put in the wrong mailbox by the postman, and whoever got it kept it. I frequently receive other peoples’ mail, but I always pass it on to them. I feel good today.

Last night I watched PBS shows about the wonders of the Greek, Roman, and ancient world. Now I think I am ready to make it on my own again. I feel good today. Mary called me yesterday, and we had a nice talk. She said she had seen a fox at the beach, so maybe that was the dog the owner thought he saw. Anyway, that issue is settled now.

Yesterday I watched a Netflix DVD of the Coen brothers’ movie True Grit. I read the book on my Kindle a few months ago and liked it a lot. Like all Coen Brothers’ movies, this one was very good. I give it four stars. I also watched the PBS shows about the Incas and the Mayans and Aztecs. I continue to feel good. I have told my caregivers that Friday (tomorrow) will be their last day. I am sure I will be able to manage just fine without them.
