Last night I went to bed at 9:45, got up once during the night, waking/getting up at 7:15.
I left the apt at 9:15. I stopped at our gym but they had
recently washed the sidewalk so I saved that exploration for another time.
At Parva I created a new vacation calendar from Tuesday,
August 29th through Thursday, September 14th. I also
studied a chess opening and did some more chess tactics.
I left at 11:15 and returned to the apt. I checked out the
gym again but this time it was locked. If I can see the manufacturer of their multi
exercise equipment maybe I could find it on the internet to see if there is
something specifically for exercising the stomach.
At 12:30 the transit police showed up again. I didn’t see
any cars parked illegally but maybe they already chased them away.
Teresa and I each had an hour-long nap after lunch.
Teresa has been asking me if the wedding is going to be
“elegante”. I showed her the Island Art & Taste video where the
ceremony and reception will be which answered that question.
In my recent game against Troyclough he’s been making moves
at 4am so I asked him if he’s now working night shift and he replied he’s in
Paris.
I finally finished reading John Fowles’ 656-page The
Magus, not an easy book to read. It seemed like every page had a word I’ve
never seen before. For example from page 58, “I read the Greek poems and saw
them for what they were: undergraduate pieces, without rhythm, without
structure, these banalities of perception clumsily concealed under an impasto
of lush rhetoric.” And from the same page, “My face set into a stiff mask, like
that of an acroterion.” And there were Greek and Latin phrases mixed in
with lots of Shakesperean references.
Today I got in 1,992 steps.
