Yesterday was a bad day for our local teams. The Raiders were hopeless against Green Bay, and the 49ers blew a game against the Cardinals that the should have won after leading for most of the game. Finally the Sharks were ahead of Chicago 2-1 for most of the game and then with a minute to go they let them tie it up, and then in overtime they let Chicago score again. At least the Sharks got one point out of it, but they did not perform up to expectations. I enjoyed seeing the Giants beat Dallas in the Sunday night game, which was very close. The 49ers beat the Giants earlier in the season, but they lost to Dallas in a very close game in September. I finished The Economist yesterday and started my new Enders shadow book on my Kindle. I feel good today.

Yesterday afternoon I watched the Sharks lose 0-1 to St. Louis in their hockey game. The Blues scored near to end of the first period when they had a two-man advantage. The rest of the game was scoreless. The Blues are a better team this year than in the past. After the game I watched disk two of the series Intelligence set in Vancouver. Today the 49ers and Raiders both play afternoon games, so I will have to switch back and forth a lot. The Raiders play Green Bay, so they probably do not have much of a chance. The 49ers play Arizona, so they should win. I feel good today.

I just got back from having lunch at El Cerrito with Jason and Melanie. Afterward we went to Safeway and picked up some groceries. Melanie is practicing her driving so she can pass her test in a few days. Amelia is taking her test a few days after Melanie. The Economist did not come yesterday, so I have been able to catch up with the previous issues. Liz, please tell Bill not to renew my subscription for next year if it is not too late. I can’t seem to keep up with the reading anymore. I feel good today.

I just got back from CVS Pharmacy, but the refill for my Prozac prescription was not ready, even though I called it in two days ago. My so called family doctor does not work every day, so I suppose she has not been notified of the request for a refill. It is a good thing I can go a few days without Prozac. Yesterday at Heidi’s Pies I mentioned that I have concluded that I am eventually going to have to move in to an assisted living facility because it is getting to be too much for me to cope with things like grocery shopping. Julian and Vanessa had looked at a big bed and breakfast place in San Mateo, but it is in the wrong school district, so it will not work out for them to sell their house and buy it. I am going to look in to using the Safeway home delivery, but I am not sure how they can get past all the locks to bring my order in . I basically feel good today, but some days I do not feel like doing anything but lie in bed. Maybe in a few weeks we can have a conference call and have a family discussion of what, if anything I should do to cope with my eventual incapacitation.

I had breakfast at Heidi’s Pies this morning with Reggie and Vanessa. I then came home and took a nap. Last night I watched disk one of a new Netflix TV serial called Intelligence. It is a cop show set in Vancouver and has to do with recruiting snitches to get better intelligence about what the bad guys are doing. The cops are as bad as the criminals with everyone lying and cheating to try to improve their career chances. I feel good now that I have napped.

Yesterday I read Science and continued reading The Economist. I also watched disk 3 of Season 1 (with the last episode of Breaking Bad. I also watched the Sharks lose to Minnesota. The Sharks scored the first goal, but by the end of the first period they were behind 1-2. Neither team scored for the rest of the game, so that was also the final score. Joshua went to the game, so I watched by myself and was able to read during the period breaks. I feel good today.

Yesterday I read Science and The Economist for this week. In the evening I watched Monday Night Football and saw San Diego beat Jacksonville. I also switched back and forth to watch the Buddy Holly tribute on PBS, which was mostly interesting because it included his widow. Finally I watched Charlie Rose, which was the next installment of his brain series. I feel good today.
