Yesterday Safeway delivered my first grocery order. Jason helped me figure out how to place the order when he was here Friday evening. The delivery man called and I buzzed him in and he brought the stuff into my condo, so I did not have to go outside at all. It will be a big relief for me not to have to go to the grocery stare every week. Yesterday I also watched disk 3 of Big Love. I also read over half of The Economist which came on Friday. I turned in at midnight and had a good sleep. I feel good today.

Jason, Susan, and Ellie came over last night and brought in Chinese food to join Josh and me in watching the hockey game. The Sharks beat Chicago 5-3. Ellie says she likes to watch sports. She went to the previous Sharks game against Calgary with Jason and Josh. The Sharks scored the first two goal, but the Blackhawks caught up. It was a close game, but the Sharks were able to hold on for the eventual victory. I watched Charlie Rose before I turned in. I feel good today.

Yesterday, in addition to my usual PBS shows, I read more on my Kindle. It has been a while since I measured my blood pressure , so it is now 129/75 with a heart rate of 70. These numbers are good, so I guess it is OK that I rarely measure it. Yesterday I also watched disk 2 of Big Love. I feel good today.

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi’s Pies with Reggie and Henry. This is Henry’s last week before he has to head back to the east coast. Last night I watched the Sharks lose to Calgary 3-4. The Sharks went down two goals early and spent the rest of the game playing catch-up. They tied the score twice,but fell short in the end. They have now lost two games in a row. but they still lead their division. Josh was at the game, so I am sure he was disappointed. I fee good today.

Yesterday I watched disk 1 of “Big Love,” an HBO series about a Mormon polygamist family with three wives. It has a good cast and is well done, but is not very sexy. Aside from the polygamy, it reminds me of life at Fenwick Island with a large group of people with lots of kids living together, with all the normal uproar and personality clashes. Last night I watched the NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City. It was a very close game with numerous lead changes, but like most NBA games, the team that made the last basket won. In this case the Warriors lost by three points, but it was a fun game to watch. Josh called me and reminded me of the game before it started, but he was not able to join me. I also read some more on my Kindle and am now about 25% of the way through my new book. I feel good today.

Yesterday I downloaded a couple of new books to read on my Kindle. I started reading the one called “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.” It is about a nine-year old boy whose father dies at the World Trade Center on 9/11. I am about 16% of the way through it. It is very well written. I turned in after Charlie Rose and had a good sleep. I feel good today.

Yesterday I finished reading The Economist and watched the last disk of Season one of Swingtown. I also finished the Steve Jobs book on my Kindle. It was very good. In the afternoon I watched the Super Bowl and was slightly sorry to see the Giants win since Tom Brady grew up in Los Gatos where Jason and his family live. In the evening I watched the next episode of Downton Abbey on PBS. I also read the new Science. I feel good today.
