Yesterday I went to lunch with Julian, Beech, and Annie. We had Mexican food at the place by Safeway at Middle and El Camino. They are all leaving today for Disney Land with Vanessa. In the early evening Josh came over and brought pizza and watched the Sharks beat Edmonton 3-2 with me. It was a good game. The Oilers have a good young team and they will be a contender in a couple of more years. After the game I went to a movie with Larry and Judi. We saw “A Shame” about sex addicts. It featured Carrey Mulligan, the girl in “An Education” in the female lead, and she was very good. The movie overall was kind of a downer, but I give it 3 stars. I feel good today.

I just got back from meeting Helen and Jim at Starbucks. The are getting ready to move to Roseville on January 13th. Last night I went to dinner and a movie with the Morrills and Ariagnos. We ate at a Vietnamese place near the theater in Redwood City, and we saw the movie Young Adult with Charlise Theron. It was about a woman who ghost writes books for so-called young adults, but her life is a mess. She can’t get past fantasizing about her life in high school, so she decides to go back to her home town which she hates, and learns the hard way what Thomas Wolfe wrote, namely “You can’t go home again.” The movie was not much fun to watch, and it did not have a very charitable view of the human condition, so I give it only one star. I feel good today.

I just got back from picking up my Prosac prescription refill from CVS. Last night I watched the Sharks beat Colorado 5-4. I was getting pretty discouraged because although the Sharks scored first they trailed Colorado 2-4 in the third period. Then they caught fire and scored three goals to win the game. Josh had tickets, so he did not watch with me. He surely enjoyed the game. I feel good today.

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi’s Pies with Reggie and Henry, who is back fro the east coast for the next few weeks. Vanessa did not make it today. Last night I watched disk 3 of season 1 of Intelligence. Yesterday I also took a shower and went to the bank to get cash for my Xmas envelopes and pick up a few groceries at Safeway. I feel good today.

Yesterday I watched the Sharks lose to Colorado in an overtime shoot out. They went ahead 2-0 in the first period then they blew the lead and were behind 2-3 with just a few seconds left in the third period when they tied the score. They eventually went four deep in the shootout before they lost. Josh was scheduled to join me, but he is caught in a crunch at work, so he could not make it. After the game I read more on my Kindle. I feel good today.

Last night I watched Seattle beat St. Louis on Monday night football. I was hoping St. Louis would win, and they came close, but Seattle prevailed. I also read some more on my Kindle. I feel good today.

Yesterday was a bad day for our local teams. The Raiders were hopeless against Green Bay, and the 49ers blew a game against the Cardinals that the should have won after leading for most of the game. Finally the Sharks were ahead of Chicago 2-1 for most of the game and then with a minute to go they let them tie it up, and then in overtime they let Chicago score again. At least the Sharks got one point out of it, but they did not perform up to expectations. I enjoyed seeing the Giants beat Dallas in the Sunday night game, which was very close. The 49ers beat the Giants earlier in the season, but they lost to Dallas in a very close game in September. I finished The Economist yesterday and started my new Enders shadow book on my Kindle. I feel good today.
