The wind is blowing this evening. Just watched Tyrant, a new series on FX tonight.  It made me shiver.

I took the day off today.  Spent time doing small things.  The yard is watered, stuff has been put away, my computer is working well.  A good day.

It is slowly getting dark outside my window.  My lamp is on by my chair.  Still there is chirping of birds even after the crows have moved back to the roosting trees.

Went to see the afternoon show JERSEY BOY.  Clint Eastman did a great job in creating this film.  I love the music and wanted to ge tup and dance.

For my birthday I received a two layered box of See's candy, nuts and chews.  I think the chocolate I eat every night helps me sleep a bit deeper.

My goal is to see 20 movies in the next ten weeks with the two teenagers in my family.  Can I do it?  Will I collapse?  Are there twenty good movies to see.  I will let you know.  This week we are going to see THE JERSEY BOYS and THE CHEF.

Early Sunday morning.  Foggy.  Don't want to start my day quite yet.  Have been reading a mystery series set in Cairo by Parker Bilal.  Maybe I can just keep reading today.

Yes, it is my birthday today.  74 years old.  had a birthday lunch and then a birthday dinner.  Now I feel stuffed and am sitting in my chair not quite ready to go to bed.

Went to see The Grand Budapest Hotel again, thisis the third time.  enough although I actually continued to enjoy it.  The kids are creating a u-tube video of their response.  I now have to look to see what movies we will see next week.  We are committed to seeing two movies a week.

Went to see Fault of the Stars today at the Del Monte Cinema with the two teenagers.  It was great and a real tear jerker.  Very few people in the heater in the early afternoon.  Tomorrow we are going ot the The Grand Budapest Hotel again.  We will be going to lots of movies this summer.

I found a new mystery story series by Parker Bilal.  The stories take place in Cairo.  I have to read slowly because the story unfolds in unfamiliar paths.  The book I just read is THE GHOST RUNNER.  I am definitely going to read the others.

Sitting at my dinning room table. dusk, sunlight still on the top of trees.  Sounds of machinery from the neighbor, chain saw I think.  I wonder where the day went.

Foggy and cold all day.  Went to morning meeting and then met a friend to write.  Now I am home and am gong to work on my quilt.

With my roommate gone for three weeks by house is slowly losing it's normal neatness, dirty dishes, clothes, newspapers.  At some point I have to grow up and stat picking up.

new neighbors down the street.  Young military guys,  Loud music, laughter and shouts.  They are two houses away and still I can here them in my bedroom.  I am not quite sure what to do about them.

I have just started reading a new writer, Deborah Levy.  SWIMMING HOME.  It is such a powerful book.  I now want to read everything else she has written.

Went to a noon time development committee meeting today for the zen center.  Yep we are always raising money to just keep even.  Must be an easier way.

Where did the blueberries go?  This is the third day of eating morning cereal without blueberries.  I do have milk, but it is the blueberries that I am missing.

The sun is still shinning late this afternoon.  cool breeze from the foggy ocean.  Slow Sunday afternoon.

Went to Lovers point this afternoon just a the fog was coming in.  Wedding Central, weekend weddings.  I actually only saw one wedding and also saw  a bunch of kids dressed for prom night having their pictures taken.  Didn't see any whales.

Spent some time on my computer this morning working on my essays.  It is an effort to not jump around the internet, from email to facebook.  I have to remind myself to hold still and stay on my word document. I wonder when that got so hard.

foggy day.  A few hours of sunshine mid afternoon when I was taking a nap.  Need to change nap time so I can be outside in the sun.  Now it is getting dark, birds chirping.  All is well.

Heidi Whilden won the election.  We are all tired.  Foggy day, not much planned.

foggy day.  I will probably say this all summer, another foggy day. Met three different people at East Village today, each one at a different time.  I am becoming a regular.  Good place to use as an office.

Another movie this afternoon. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL.  This was the second time seeing it and it was even better.
