Yesterday I watched the Netflix disk 2 of Season one of Breaking Bad. I turned in early, so I will have to watch Charlie Rose at noon today. Last night I had a crick in my neck so bad I had to get up at 5 AM and take 600 mg of Ibuprpphin, which helped a lot. My blood pressure today is 110/61 with a heart rate of 68. I feel good today.

Last night I watched Monday Night Football to see New England dominate Kansas City. I did not really care who won, but Tom Brady is a local boy who grew up in Los Altos where Jason and his family live. After the game I read quite a bit more on my Kindle. After the news I turned in early, so I will have to watch Charlie Rose at noon today. I feel good today.

Yesterday was a good day for the home teams here. The Raiders, 49ers, and Sharks all won their games. Joshua brought in pizza and watched the 49ers and Sharks with me. We were both happy with the outcomes. The Economist came on Saturday, and I finished it yesterday. Also, Liz called me and we had a nice chat. My blood pressure today is 131/66 with a heart rate of 65. I feel good today.

The Economist came yesterday and I have read about half of it. I went to lunch at Jeffrey’s burgers with Julian and Vanessa and the kids. Afterward Beech came to my place and we played another game of Labyrinth. Later Joshua came over and brought In and Out burgers and watched the Sharks game with me. They beat Dallas 5-2, but Dallas started a lot of fights to make up for their being out played. Josh left after the game to go to a concert in Santa Cruz. In the evening I watched Stanford beat Cal in the “Big Game.” Cal made the game closer than I had expected, and the rain made it sloppier than usual, but Stanford prevailed. I feel good today.

Yesterday after the Friday PBS shows were over I watched disk 1 of Breaking Bad, which is a series Liz recommended to me. It is about a high school chemistry teacher who is told by his doctor that he has terminal lung cancer and only has two years to live at most. He decides to apply his chemistry skills to cooking meth to make money for his family. There is a lot of humor and excitement as things go wrong. I look forward to disk 2.. I feel good today.

I forgot to mention in yesterday’s message that on Wednesday night I watched a show on PBS that was very good. It was called “My Life as a Turkey.” It was about a guy in Florida who hatched a bunch of wild turkey eggs in an incubator and they imprinted of him as their mother. He then spent about a year and a half with them until they returned to the wild. Yesterday Joshua brought in Mexican food and watched the Sharks game with me. They beat the Redwings 5-2. After letting Detroit score the first goal, they scored a short handed goal at the end of the first period. They went on from there with Vlasick scoring a goal and three assists to get four points. I was tired, so I turned in early. I will watch Charlie Rose at noon today.

I had breakfast at Heidi’s Pies this morning. Vanessa joined us briefly for a cup of coffee. On the way home I stopped at CVS and got a flu shot. It was free with Medicare, but it was a nuisance to fill out the forms. When I got home I washed my sheets and remade my bed. I just finished watching Tavis Smiley, so I am writing this while I watch NNK World, the Japanese news show which is part of my daily routine. Last night I watched a Netflix DVD of the movie The Last September. It was about the Irish revolution after the first world war. It had a stellar cast and was well done. I give it three stars. I give it three stars. I feel good today.
