Last night Joshua called me and told me the hockey game between St. Louis and Phoenix was on TV, so T watched the third period. I was surprised to see St Louis lose to Phoenix. I thought St Louis was practically unbeatable. Phoenix has now taken first place in our conference. Depending on how tonight’s games turn out the Sharks may have either third place or last place in the playoffs-standings. At least they are in the playoffs, and if they can not beat all the teams, they won’t make it to the Stanley cup finals anyway, so I suppose it does not really matter in what order the play the other teams. I started reading The Help on my Kindle yesterday. I have not seen the movie, but I have seen a lot of discussion of it on TV. I feel good today.

Last night Josh brought in burgers and fries from In and Out Burger and watched the hockey game with me. The Sharks beat LA 6-5 in an overtime shootout. They now are assured a place in the playoffs. If they win their next game, they may even win their Division. I feel good today.

Yesterday I read some more on my Kindle and watched Disk One of Bleak House. I had seen Bleak House before, but I had forgotten most of it. I have watched so many movies now that I recognize the performers from other movies. Bleak House is full of famous British actors and actresses, but when I first saw it on PBS years ago I did not know who they were. Now they are all like old friends. I feel good today.

Yesterday I read more on my Kindle and finished The Economist. In the evening I watched the new Masterpiece Theater production of Great Expectations. This morning I took a shower and started a load of laundry. I feel good today.

Message 1438

Yesterday, In addition to changing my sheets and doing laundry, I read quite a bit more on my Kindle. My new book is Outlaw Platoon by Sean Parnell. It is the true story of a platoon leader’s experiences in Afghanistan. I saw him interviewed on the Tavis Smiley show a short while back, and he sounded interesting. Last night I watched the hockey game. Josh did not join me because he went to Jason’s birthday party in Los Gatos. The Sharks beat Dallas 3-0 and moved back into last place in the playoff race. They play Dallas in San Jose again on Tuesday, after which they play LA again home and away on Thursday and Saturday to end their regular season. I feel good today.
