Yesterday I napped in the afternoon after The News Hour was finished on PBS at 4 PM. In the evening I then read on my Kindle until the 10- o’clock News. I turned in after watching Charlie Rose. I saw on the news that the Warriors lost to Boston, so I was just as glad I had not watched them. I feel good today. I decided not to RE-FI my mortgage. It turned out I could only save half a point on my interest rate.

Yesterday Josh brought in pizza and watched the hockey game with me. The Sharks lost 2-3 in overtime to the Calgary Flames. The Sharks scored the first goal, but then fell behind and caught up in the third period, but they could not put the game away. At least they got one point out of it. They are now in a three-way tie for the last play-off spot. I feel good today.

Yesterday afternoon before the hockey game started, I watched a Netflix DVD called Sometimes in April. It was about the killings in Rwanda a few years ago. It was a docu-drama that showed what a horrible experience it was for both sides of the fighting, so it was not fun to watch. I give it three stars. After the movie, Josh came over and brought in fish and chips and watched the hockey game with me. It was hard-fought like all the recent games, but this time the Sharks were able to beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2. I got a proposal in the mail yesterday to refinance my mortgage, so I am considering it. I feel good today.

Yesterday I watched the Golden State Warriors beat the LA Clippers in NBA basketball. The Warriors played well again, so it was fun to watch them beat another good team for the second night in a row. Afterward it was another fundraising night on PBS, so I watched the final disk of Freaks and Geeks. The series ended with the Grateful Dead’s American Beauty album being featured as part of the story, which ends with the main characters hitting the road following the Dead in a van with Dead stickers to the sound of Ripple playing. This entire week will be nothing but PBS fundraisers, so I should be able to watch Charlie Rose at 8 PM and get adjusted to Daylight Savings Time. I feel good today.

When I went to bed last night after setting my clocks ahead to 2 AM to get on Daylight Saving’s Time, I realized I had neglected to send out my daily message, so this is a double message, although I am numbering it as if it is one of my usual messages. On Saturday I went to lunch with Julian and Beech at El Cerrito. After lunch we stopped in Safeway next door to pick up a couple of things I had left off my previous day’s delivery. In the evening Josh came over and brought food from Boston Market and watched the hockey game with me. The Sharks lost to Phoenix 0-3. They played well, but the Phoenix goalie was just too good. They have now lost their place in the playoff standings, but they still should be able to get it back. After the hockey game, Josh and I watched the Golden State Warriors beat Dallas in NBA basketball. It was a good game and very satisfying to see our local team beat last year’s champions. I finished reading The Economist after the game. It came in Friday’s mail this week, so I have already been able to finish it. I feel good today.

Yesterday I watched the Sharks play Dallas in hockey. The game started early because it was played in the Central time zone, so Josh was not able to join me. Dallas scored the first goal midway in the second period and Torrey Mitchell tied it up in the last second of the second period. In the third period the Sharks went ahead and then Dallas immediately tied it up on a couple of different occasions. They went to overtime tied 3-3, then to a shootout, which in the fifth level Dallas finally scored, so the Sharks lost 3-4. All of the Sharks game seem to follow the same pattern now. They are all hard fought and close, with goals hard to come by. It is already like playoff hockey in its intensity. At least the Sharks got one point out of it last night, but it is going to be tough for them to make the playoffs if very many of the remaining games go like this. I am expecting a Safeway grocery delivery within the next four hours. I feel good today.

Yesterday afternoon I watched another disk of the Freaks and Geeks series. I the evening I watched Les Miz again on PBS. It is one of their favorite fundraisers. It still impresses me how emotional I get when I watch it. Afterwards I watched the news and Charlie Rose. I feel good today.
