I slept well last night only getting up once about 5am,
finally walking/getting up at 8am.
It’s a partially overcast morning thus far.
I watched the first hour of the Today show and they had some coverage of the Guatape tragedy.
I left for the gym and walking through the park a man called
my name. I saw 2 of the stronger chess
players I’ve played against before. They
were just setting up a chessboard and they invited me to play but I informed
them I needed to go to the gym.
At the gym I skipped most of the lower body exercises and
backed off on the weight of everything else.
I was there for about an hour.
Returning to the park there were several chess games in
progress, maybe because today is a holiday.
The guy I call The Russian
invited me to play so I told him I only
had time for one game. I had the Black
pieces and he soon had a lot of pressure on my King and Queen. I squeezed out of it with a 2 pawn advantage
but I lost the right to castle. Being up
2 pawns I managed to trade pieces to where we each had only 2 rooks and the pawns. He had 2 pawns on his king side and 4 pawns
on his queenside and I had my original 8 and I just marched my pawns down the
center protected by my king. It was
amazing to see how strong that was against his 2 Rooks. I won the game and headed back to the apt.
After my shower I watched a little of the History Channel and then took a
40-minute nap. Teresa and Laura had
returned by the time I woke up.
Teresa made a delicious chicken salad, with peach slices and
fresh juice but I could only finish half of it.
Afterwards I found out I still have a diarrhea problem. I took 2 more pills so I hope that helps.
We watched Still Alice
(7.5) on Netflix. Yes, I know we’ve seen
it before. I believe it's Teresa's favorite movie.
At 6:15 it started raining and hadn’t stopped by the time we
went to bed at 11pm.
T-shirt of the day: You find it offensive? …I find it funny. That’s why I’m happier than you.
