Message 1261

Yesterday I read more of my new book on my Kindle. It is titled “Legend” by Marie Lu. I saw her interviewed on Tavis Smiley. She is a Chinese American girl in her twenties who said she was influenced by Enders Game and decided to write her book in the evenings while she worked for a video game company. Now that it has been published she has quit her job and is writing full time on the sequel. Yesterday in the late afternoon Jason and Josh came over to watch the Sharks beat Vancouver in an overtime shoot out. We also watched Stanford lose to Oklahoma State in their bowl game. Stanford was never behind, but their freshman kicker missed a field goal which sent the game into overtime in which Stanford missed another field goal but Oklahoma made theirs and won. Jason brought beer and Josh brought Mexican food which we shared. I was glad to see on the news that Oregon won the Rose Bowl. I feel good today.

Message 1260

Yesterday I read the new Science and watched three NFL games. I was delighted to see the 49ers beat the Rams and clinch a bye for next week. Josh came over and brought sandwiches from Boston Market and watched the Raiders lose to San Diego with me. That cost them a spot in the playoffs. In the evening I watched Dallas lose to the Giants. I was happy to see Dallas lose because they had an undeserved victory against the 49ers earlier in the season. After the games, I started reading my new book on my Kindle. It is quite good. I will tell you more about it later. I feel good today.

Yesterday I read The Economist. This issue did not have many pages, so I was able to finish it in one day. In the evening I watched a Netflix DVD of the the first two hours of Pillars of the Earth. I read and loved the book years ago, so I was interested to see how it was adapted to the screen. I found I had forgotten a lot of the details, so I had trouble figuring out what was going on a lot of the time. I am looking forward to watching the next six hours too. I feel good today.

Message 1258

After the usual Friday PBS shows I stayed tuned to PBS and watched the Cirque du Soleil show. I was good, but not nearly a good as watching the shows live. I was interested to see them include a tribute to Beatles music. I finished the second Bean book on my Kindle. I found it not as good as the first one, but I am glad I rad it. I feel good today.

Message 1257

Last night I watched a Netflix DVD of the movie Never Let Me Go. When it started I realized I had seen it before but I watched it again anyway. When I watched it before I gave it three stars, and I still think that is about right. It is kind of a downer as a movie, but I admire Kerry Mulligan so I let the three star rating stand. That was all I did yesterday other than watch my usual news shows. I was tired so I turned in early. I feel good today.

Message 1256

I am late getting this message off again today, but maybe tomorrow I will manage to do it in the morning. Last night Josh brought in fish and chips and watched the Sharks game with me. They lost in overtime to Vancouver 2-3, but at least they got one point for making it to overtime. In truth they were lucky to do as well as they did. Vancouver scored the first two goals, and the Sharks played catch up for the rest of the game. They did not look like they were ready for the big time. I feel good today, better than yesterday when I was in pain from my catheter change.

Message 1255

I am finally getting around to sending out today’s message. This morning I went to PAMF to have my catheter changed. While I was there I picked up a refill of my antibiotic (Keflex).. On the way home I stopped by Safeway and picked up some groceries. The Sharks play Vancouver tonight. I feel good today.
