Yesterday I had lunch with Julian and Vanessa and the kids after the soccer game. In the afternoon I finished The Economist and Science. I also watched the Stanford game, which was quite good. Stanford played very well, but Oregon came from behind and won decisively to show they deserve to be ranked at least number four in the nation. During the half, Mimi and I ate at El Cerrito and did the Safeway shopping.

Message 847

Helen and Jim could not make it to Starbucks this morning and Mimi is at the nursing home helping her mother through another crisis, so I am going to San Mateo to watch Beech's soccer game. Julian got back from London yesterday afternoon, so he will be able to coach. Yesterday I read some more on my Kindle, and in the evening I read a good bit of The Economist.

I just noticed that I gave the title Moon Dog to the Netflix DVD when it should have been Ghost Dog. It was named properly in the list of movies. I have now edited the text of message 845. Yesterday I read some more on my Kindle, and last night Mimi and I watched a DVD of the movie made in Argentina called Don't Look Down. It was a strange movie about ghosts and sex. I give it 3 stars.

Message 845

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi's Pies with Reggie and Mimi. Henry is back east again, and Vanessa called and said she could not make it. Reggie said he will not be able to be there next week, so we may just skip it then. Last night Mimi and I watched a DVD of the movie Ghost Dog. It was an unusual movie starring Forest Whitaker, where he plays a professional killer who lives by the old Samurai code. I give it 3.3 stars. I am up to 13 percent now on my Kindle book.

Message 844

Yesterday I started reading the Wilbur Smith book I bought for my Kindle. I thought I had read all of his books, but this is a new one. According to the number at the bottom of the page on my Kindle, I have now read about 11 percent of it. We tried to watch a movie last night, but the disk was cracked and would not play, so I have sent it back to Netflix and requested that they send me a new copy. Our heat wave is starting to break, but it will not be all gone until tomorrow.

Message 843

I just got back from PAMF where I picked up new injectable antibiotic supplies. We are in the middle of a heat wave, but so far I have managed with opening the place up to cool off at night and closing it up again at dawn. Last night Mimi and I watched the British comedy Cold Comfort Farm. I give it 3.9 stars.

Message 842

Yesterday I finished reading Science and watched two NFL games. I watched the 49ers embarrass themselves against the Chiefs and I watched the Raiders blow their game against the Cardinals. It was a downer to watch such poor performances. In the evening I watched another Inspector Lewis Episode on Masterpiece Mystery.
