Staying busy

Work is very busy right now. When I came home yesterday, I did not feel like taking my usual walk. I just crashed out and watched an episode of the reboot of "Lost in Space." 

The US Chess Federation correction to its on-line rating system appears to have raised my on-line blitz rating from 1350ish to 1540ish. Since ratings are not medals, the increase is of no consequence. But for me the new rating is closer to my over-the-board rating, so it feels more "right."

I learned last night of the collapse of a condominium building in Miami, causing many deaths. That is very sad.

Loops and Trails

I worked a solid day. After work, in the early evening, I walked in Allen, starting at Waterston Park, walking to Spirit Park, and then making the loop on the Watters Creek Trail.

My wife drove to Oklahoma City yesterday to attend a funeral. Today she drove to Kansas City in the rain. I read about the Flint Hills Trail on the way there and resolved to try to go there someday.
