2.5 and looking forward
Saturday I scored 2.5/5 in an open on-line blitz chess tournament, though my play probably deserved a 1.0 out of 5. My on-line blitz rating prior to this tournament stood at 1481. This latest result promises to push it over 1500, if my calculations prove correct. I thought about playing in tonight's 3/2 blitz tournament, but decided to read and catch up on other things instead.
Tomorrow our niece comes for her annual visit. We missed her during the pandemic year. We look forward to her arrival. She turns 16 this week. I find that hard to believe.
I still watch petfinder.com as I want us to adopt a new dog soon. But the meaning of "soon" varies and lacks easy definition.
Work keeps me busy now. I walk each day at Noon. Today I walked in Salmon Park. I took pictures of a migrating Monarch butterfly. This year migration anecdotally feels pleasingly heavy. The local Audubon Society resumes monthly bird walks at Lake Tawakoni on Saturday. But I prefer to spend the time with our niece.
