Yesterday I read some more on my Kindle. In the evening Joshua brought in Pizza, and we watched the Giants lose another one-run game in extra innings. After he left I watched a Netflix DVD called Picnic at Hanging Rock. I was an Australian movie based on a true story that happened in 1900 in which 3 girls about 13 years old from a boarding school disappear from a class outing and are never seen again. It is a mystery what happens to them, but the movie turns out to be boring because it is never clear what is going on. I give it 2 stars. For some reason The Economist came yesterday instead of last Friday, so I started reading it and got about half way through it. I feel good again today.

I realized yesterday that I have messed up the numbers on some of these messages, but I am trying now to get back on track. Yesterday I met Annie at McDonalds in Redwood City and let her play in the kids section while Vanessa went to the doctor. Annie had a ball and ate all of her chicken nuggets and drank most of her chocolate milk. I downloaded three more Neal Stephenson books on my Kindle. They are a series. The first one is called Quicksilver, and I read it a few years ago, but it is worth rereading, so I have started with it. I feel good today.

Yesterday Joshua brought over Subway sandwiches for my birthday lunch. He is back from his trip to Amsterdam and his string of Phish concerts, so he is back at work today after two weeks away. Yesterday I watched a Netflix DVD of the movie The Sixth Sense. In spite of having a good cast I thought the concept was absurd so I give it only one star. In the evening I finished reading the new Wilbur Smith book Those in Peril on my Kindle. It was about Muslim pirates in Africa, and was fun to read. I feel good today.

I met Helen and Jim at Starbuck’s yesterday. It was nice to see them again after missing them for a few weeks. In the afternoon I did a load of laundry. For the rest of the day I read some more of my Wilbur Smith book on my Kindle. Because there is no Charlie Rose on Saturday, I turned in early and had a good sleep. I feel good today. I just measured my blood pressure, and it was 130/75 with a heart rate of 67, which I all pretty good.

I had a good birthday yesterday. Vanessa took me to lunch, then to Beech’s art class to se his painting, then To Annie’s school to see her and her teachers and classmates. Jason and their girls took me to Ten Fu for dinner, then I went to a movie with Larry and Judi. We saw Final Destination 5. I was terrible. I give it zero stars. It was nothing but violence and gore. I feel good today.

Beech and Annie and Vanessa called me this morning to wish me a Happy Birthday. I am going up to their house to see them and have lunch at 11 AM. Last night I read some more on my Kindle. I am feeling good today.

I just got back from having breakfast with Reggie at Heidi’s Pies. Beech and Vanessa stopped in there to say Hello to everybody, but they did not eat. It was good to see them though. Last night I watched The King’s Speech on a Netflix DVD. It was very good. I give it 4 stars. I also read some more of my new Wilbur Smith book on my Kindle. I feel good today.
