I have already done a load of laundry and hung it out to dry this morning. Yesterday Joshua came over and watched the end of the Sharks game with me. After the Sharks let New Jersey go ahead by two goals in the first period it looked like they were doomed again, but then they scored two quick goal in the second period to tie it up. In the third period New Jersey scored again and with only a few seconds remaining in the game the Sharks pulled their goalie and Pavelski was able to tie the game. The Sharks then won in an overtime shootout. After the game I went to a movie with Larry and Judi. We saw Margin Call, which was very good. I had seen an interview with the actor/producer on Tavis Smiley in the afternoon, so I was already favorably disposed to the movie. I give it 4 stars. Afterwards we had dinner at a nearby Turkish restaurant.

This morning I have already gone to the bank to get some more cash and done my Safeway shopping. Also I have updated my checkbook balance. A new roof is being put on my building, so a lot of men are up there stomping around. Last night I watched a Netflix DVD of the movie Cracks. I am not sure where the title came from, but it is about a girls school in Britain in 1934, so I leave it to you to speculate. It was similar in some ways to The Lord of the Flies and to The Prime of Miss Jean Broody. It was well done, but with a cast that was entirely unknown to me. I give it three stars. I feel good today.

I just got back from Heidi’s Pies. Reggie was there but Henry was in los Angeles on family business. Vanessa joined us and had coffee, but she insisted on picking up the check even though she did not eat anything. Yesterday Joshua and I watched the Cardinals win game one of the World Series. We were happy with the outcome. I am sure Ethan and Alex must be happy too. Afterward I watched a couple of PBS shows about extraterrestrial life. I was glad to hear on the radio while I was driving to San Mateo that Quadafi is dead now.

Yesterday I read more on my Kindle. In the Evening I watched a French movie with the translated title of Brotherhood of the Wolf. I had seen it before a long time ago, but I had forgotten most of it. It is a fantasy epic set in the middle ages, but it is not very well done. I give it 2.5 stars. My blood pressure today is 101/69 with a heart rate of 62, which is good. I feel good too.

Last night Joshua brought over food from Boston Market and watched the Sharks game with me. The Sharks lost to Anaheim 2-3, so the Sharks have won only one game all year, which is very disappointing to us all, but, of course it is early in the season. Look at what the St Louis Cardinals have done in baseball. Just like what the Giants did last year. I hope the Cardinals can win the World Series too. I read some more on my Kindle yesterday too. I feel good today.

Yesterday Joshua brought in Burgers and pizza and watched football with me. we were delighted to see both
the 49ers and Raiders win. The 49ers beat Detroit in a tough, hard fought game and the Raiders won easily against Cleveland. Josh left after these games, but I also watched the Bears beat the Vikings. In the evening I watched a Nature program and a new Masterpiece Mystery on PBS. The mystery was two hours long and very complicated, so I never did understand who did what to whom and why, but I watched it anyway and enjoyed it. I feel good today.

Yesterday I finished reading The Economist. In the afternoon Beech came over for a while and put together his new Leggo Starship. I was very impressed that he was able to read and follow the instructions. In the evening Josh came over with Mexican food and watched the Sharks lose to the St. Louis Blues. They lost 2-4 including an empty netter at the end. I also read some more on my Kindle. My blood pressure is 126/75 with a heart rate of 72. I feel good today.
