gurdonarkWe enjoyed having our 16-year-old niece visit us Thursday through Sunday. We went to Brio, an Italian place in Allen. We ate a purple velvet cake my wife and my niece baked. My niece watched Youtube personalities on television with whom I was unfamiliar. We rented the movie Cruella, which we enjoyed very well. I am delighted that our niece is a good person.
My on-line blitz rating hit 1500. I decided today to have two chess goals: to get my on-line blitz rating above 1600 and to get my over-the-board rating back over 1800. I played a lot of casual games for several hours on Thursday, while my niece watched a television program I rarely see. I lost more games than I won.
I attended the local Audubon Society meeting tonight via Zoom, where the speaker discussed the Breeding Bird survey. I resolved to learn more about Peregrine Falcons after hearing the identification part of the meeting.
A huge and disturbing storm is forecast for tonight.
I walked in our park. Two nice neighbors stopped to speak with me. Each asked if I had taken a picture of the sunset. I had not, but I saw the sunset.
My weight at WW has been the exact same weight for 3 straight weeks. I usually fluctuate a good bit.
Jupiter and Venus are bright in the evening sky.
