My internet connection went out yesterday, and I did not feel up to going through the rigmarole of fixing it until this morning. As a result yesterday’s message is late getting to you, but this one follows close behind. Yesterday I turned in early and had a good sleep. Today I feel better. In fact, I feel good today.

I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi’s Pies with Reggie and Henry. On the way home I stopped at Safeway for my weekly shopping, and I picked up a couple of new prescriptions at CVS. Last night I watched the Sharks beat Tampa Bay. They went ahead 5-0 in the first period and then won the game 7-2. Joshua was not able to join me because he went to his office Xmas party. I hope he is feeling OK today. I feel good today.

Yesterday I watched Disk 4 of Season 1 of Intelligence. That was the end of the first season. I am not sure when season 2 will become available on Netflix. Scheming and double crossing continued to the end, which left lots to be resolved in Season 2. I feel good today.

Late yesterday afternoon both Jason and Joshua came over to watch Monday night football with me. Josh brought Mexican food for all of us. We were all delighted to see the 49ers beat Pittsburgh 20-3. If any of you saw it you know it was an unusual game with a power failure a few minutes before the kickoff that lasted for about half an hour. The lights then went out again in the second quarter and stayed out for about 20 minutes while the players stood around on the field. Charlie Rose had Mitt Romney on for the hour last night, and I could not stand listening to him, so I turned in early and had a good sleep. I feel good today.

Yesterday I watched three NFL games again as usual on Sunday these days. I was sorry to see the Rams lose and very sorry to see the Raiders lose in the last minute after leading most of the game. Joshua brought in Subway sandwiches and watched the Raiders game with me. This morning I changed my sheets and did a couple of loads of laundry. I was glad to see the the San Diego Chargers win. Josh is coming this afternoon to watch the 49ers take on the Steelers. I feel good today

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.
