Queen-Rook Checkmate October 29, 2020
Queen-Rook Checkmate It took me 73 moves to checkmate the White King yesterday in a Correspondence Chess game that started over a month ago and involved my opponent and me wiping out almost our entire armies. Finally my Queen and Rook trapped his King in a checkmate against an edge of the board. The position […]
A Halloween Week Massacre October 27, 2020
A Halloween Week Massacre That's what this Correspondence Chess game looks like. The board at game's end when my opponent playing Black resigned yesterday, giving me the win with White, is shown in the graphic at the top of this post. Our game's full record is below. 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 e6 3. a3 […]
Dispelling the Gloom October 26, 2020
Dispelling the Gloom A grim and gloomy start to this morning, and I'm not sure why. Last night's sleep was about average: 3 ½ hr. 1st sleep segment, followed by 45 min. insomnia break, then another sleep segment of a little more than three hours, finally waking ½ hour before my first alarm. That should […]
Full-Radio Saturday October 24, 2020
Full-Radio Saturday It's good to hear The National Anthem played by a college band before a football game. Of course it was done virtually, and I'm following the game over the radio so I don't have to see anyone disrespecting. Still, it's nice to hear. Ohio State kicks off, Nebraska has the ball, and the […]
Now... and Then October 23, 2020
Now... and Then NOW: This morning I registered for the Catholic Identity Conference 2020 which is taking place this weekend. The event is being live-streamed and I'll be watching many of the speakers as they give their presentations. The whole thing is being recorded so those parts I miss live I'll be able to catch […]

Thursday morning:The sleep from which I woke this morning was about as good as I ever get: a total of seven good hours coming in two segments separated by an insomnia break that was almost an hour long. Health metrics and financials this morning all checked out okay. And the scheduled daily tasks all seem doable. […]

Wednesday morning:A lot less sleep than I'd like and a lot more insomnia last night, but I was up in time to fix coffee and breakfast and see the wife off to work. The health metrics and financials checked out okay. And I moved slowly through the morning without breaking anything or spending any money. […]

Tuesday morning:After a very good sleep (one short break, one wacky dream) I woke to find this joint uncommonly cool. Cold, actually. Made my way to the thermostat in the dining room and found it reading 62 degrees. Huh. So I changed its mode from "cool" to "heat" and headed back to bed to wait […]

Monday morning:A grim and gloomy start to this morning, and I'm not sure why. Last night's sleep was about average: 3 1/2 hr. 1st sleep segment, followed by 45 min. insomnia break, then another sleep segment of a little more than three hours, finally waking 1/2 hour before my first alarm. That should be enough […]

Sunday morning:I do miss attending Sunday Mass, but I simply refuse to attend under the ridiculous masking and social distancing mandates and other liturgical restrictions we have here. It is more important that I stay healthy. And staying healthy, for me, requires breathing freely. It also means avoiding stupid people and stupid situations as much […]
