I am waiting for Helen and Jim to call to meet for coffee. We are having something of a heat wave. It is supposed to go over 80 again today. Last night I watched part of disk 2 of season 5 of The Wire.
Julian is going to bring his AAA card today and have AAA come and bring him a new battery. I will walk up to coffee and then drive up later this afternoon to do my grocery shopping.

Yesterday after breakfast at Heidi's Pies, Vanessa, Beech, Annie, and I went to Ellie's birthday party, five candles. It was a very nice party. Chelsea was there with the twins, plus a couple of Susan's friends were there with there kids. Vanessa took her bouncy house and set it up in the front yard.
We drove to Los Gatos in my van, and when we got back we discovered that Vanessa's van had a dead battery. It was late afternoon, and the kids were tired, so I had her drive home in my van. She will come down this morning and get a new battery.
Last night I watched the Sharks beat Calgary 6-1. It was one of those games where everything goes well.
Charlie Rose had a good show last night, so I think I will watch it again at noon today. It dealt with what the world has to do to control it financial system

Last night I picked up Jason at SFO on his return from the Starcraft weekend at Nyack. Jamie did not make it this year, but all the other regulars did, including Sean.
When I got home, the 49ers game on Monday Night Football was over, so I read more of The Economist. Apparently the 49ers played well, but the still lost to Arizona, so they are not yet ready for prime time.
Tonight the Sharks play Nashville, so I will watch them.

This morning I am sending this message early before I leave to have breakfast with Vanessa and Annie at Heidi's pies. Afterward we will pick Beech up at school and go to Los Gatos for Ellie's birthday party.
Last night I watched disk 1 of season 5 of The Wire. This season has the newspaper business as part of the story, like season had education.

Last night I watched the Sharks game. Even though they led most of the game, they ended up losing to Nashville in overtime.
After the game I read some more of The Economist. As usual, I watched Charlie Rose at midnight and turned in at 1 AM.
Today I will walk up to Sharon Heights and pick up my Boniva and Flonase prescriptions.

I just got back from PAMF where I had to pick up a refill of my prescription for my bladder antibiotic solution. I was not sure they would be open today because so many places are closed for the holiday, but fortunately for me, they were.
It was wonderful yesterday to have Caroline, Ellie, and Beech with me after their overnight. I took them to the Redwood City McDonalds with the play area for breakfast. They had a good time bur did not eat much of their pancake breakfasts. They all did drink two containers of chocolate milk though. Julian brought over a bunch of tacos at noon. Susan brought the twins and their friend Iris over on their way to PAMF for their flu shots, so they too enjoyed the tacos before they left.
Even though I loved having the kids stay with me, it was nice when they went home, so I was able to relax. I still have not finished putting the condo back in order, but I am doing a little here and there every day, so it will soon be back to normal.
Today I take Beech to his gymnastics class. He does not have school today, because they are closed for the holiday. Because we shall have extra time, I will give him a choice of whether he wants to have lunch at Heidi's Pie or at our usual McDonalds. I assume he will choose McDonalds because he mostly wants the toy that comes with the happy meal.
Last night I watched Masterpiece Contemporary on PBS, and went to bed early, about midnight instead of my usual 1 AM.

Yesterday I took Beech and Annie to Los Gatos to go out to lunch with Susan and the girls. Afterward we came back to play for a couple of hours . Annie loved playing in Ellie's room with all of her girly toys. She would pick up a doll and give it a hug and say baby.
When it was time to leave Caroline asked if she could spend the night a my house. Then Ellie said she wanted to stay too. Then Beech said he wanted to stay with the girls at my house instead of staying at Maureen's with Annie, so that the way it turned out to be.
In spite of the kids staying up and playing pretty roughly, I was able to watch the Sharks game. They beat Dallas 2-1, scoring the winning goal with 28 seconds to go in the 3rd period. The sharks still have more points than any other team in the NHL.
The kids are still asleep. Today is my Boniva day, so I can't eat for anoter hour.
