Yesterday I had a nice Xmas dinner in Los Altos with Jason and Susan and the girls. Linda and Walt were also there. We had a good roast beef and potatoes with green beans and Brussels sprouts on the side for dinner. In the evening I watched a nature show on PBS (Christmas in Yellowstone) and a Jane Austin production (Persuasion). I started watching a second Jane Austin show (Mansfield Park) but I got tired and turned in early before it was over. I feel good today.

Yesterday was a good day for the Bay Area’s NFL teams. The Raiders beat Kansas City 16-13 and the 49ers beat Seattle 19-17 in a hard-fought come-from-behind fashion 19-17. So I got my wish and both of our local teams won. Josh brought in burgers and fries and watched the 49ers with me. In the evening I watched Disk 2 of The Unusuals. I think this was the end of the series. Apparently it only lasted for one season. I thought it was pretty good though. It was both entertaining and funny. Merry Xmas to all. I feel good today.

Yesterday morning I watched Disk 1 of the TV series The Unusuals. It is a cop show that has a mix of seriousness and humor. It is unusual, and it is fun to watch. If it were a movie I would give it three stars. In the evening Josh came over and brought Chinese food and watched the Sharks beat LA in hockey. It was a hard fought game. The Sharks scored first, but the had to go to an overtime shootout to win 2-1. Ryan Clowe scored to only shootout goal. I feel good today. I am watching the NFL pregame show as I type this message. I hope that both the Raiders and 49ers both win today.

My internet connection went out yesterday, and I did not feel up to going through the rigmarole of fixing it until this morning. As a result yesterday’s message is late getting to you, but this one follows close behind. Yesterday I turned in early and had a good sleep. Today I feel better. In fact, I feel good today.

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi’s Pies with Reggie and Henry. On the way home I stopped at Safeway for my weekly shopping, and I picked up a couple of new prescriptions at CVS. Last night I watched the Sharks beat Tampa Bay. They went ahead 5-0 in the first period and then won the game 7-2. Joshua was not able to join me because he went to his office Xmas party. I hope he is feeling OK today. I feel good today.

Yesterday I watched Disk 4 of Season 1 of Intelligence. That was the end of the first season. I am not sure when season 2 will become available on Netflix. Scheming and double crossing continued to the end, which left lots to be resolved in Season 2. I feel good today.

Late yesterday afternoon both Jason and Joshua came over to watch Monday night football with me. Josh brought Mexican food for all of us. We were all delighted to see the 49ers beat Pittsburgh 20-3. If any of you saw it you know it was an unusual game with a power failure a few minutes before the kickoff that lasted for about half an hour. The lights then went out again in the second quarter and stayed out for about 20 minutes while the players stood around on the field. Charlie Rose had Mitt Romney on for the hour last night, and I could not stand listening to him, so I turned in early and had a good sleep. I feel good today.
