I watched the latewst epside of the Good Wife tonight. One of my favorite shows. I think there should be one good program to watch every night but I can't find them. I dutifully watch the news everynight and then I want some entertainment. Tonight I succeeded with the Good Wife.

I am enjoying the bose headphones that my daughter had recommended. The Sports Center loud noise is muffled and I can listen to various music on pandora radio on my Iphone. It almost makes the exercise bearable.

I am in my own little world and I see that everyone else has these wires to their ears. it is good that I like to read science fiction or this would all seem weird.

I met with two different friends today who said that they can't find anything to read. they have tried a bunch of books but can't stay focused. Immediately I have many suggestions but they just shake their heads. It's not about the books, I just can't focus. I want to help but I don't know what to suggest. Maybe they need more sleep or exercise or sunlight or milk.

Yesterday, two hawks were slowly drifting over my house. The crows became agitated and started shouting at them. They refused to respond and continued to move at their own pace. Today they are gone and the crows are quiet.

It is hard to think of anything else when one's knee is acting up. Ice and rest, that's all I can do today. It looks foggy outside my window. heater is on. For a moment I thought I had nothing to read and then I noticed the piles of books around my desk. Oh yes at some point I wanted to read these books. I will have to check them out.

Had lunch at Panda Express in seaside today. I spend so much of my life being with people like myself that it was a treat to be eating in a restaurant full of guys in army camouflage uniforms and young parents with messy kids. There is life outside of older middle class proper folks.

Drove to Moss Landing to have lunch with an old friend of mine. we met at the lighthouse cafe, a 1950's kind of place. I had my usual hamburger and fries and water. I try not to drink sodas anymore. We ate faster then we talked so we ended up sitting at the table long after we had paid . On the way home I saw bunches of poppies by the road. Made me happy........
