I taught Brent to play Santorini. The high point of my day, I think.
Today's Bridge: Lots of sets to start with, but the opponents managed to make a partscore, which left us on the defense. I went for a 4C sacrifice that wasn't horrible, but with A-K-J-9-x-x in the suit and just a doubleton queen of hearts outside, it was probably a big mistake. Finally, I had S A-10-x-x-x H A D 3-2 C K-9-x-x-x, which was just ( Read more... ) -
Even more snow days ahead
Today's Bridge: Ken and I started with a game in hearts - he opened 2H when I had S K-Q-J-x-x-x H K-x D A-x C K-Q-x, which is a pretty impressive hand. I bid the spades, but we ended up in 4H even though he had 10-x-x of spades. Hearts were probably the better choice, since the opening lead was a club to the king, ace, and a ruff. That gave him ( Read more... ) -
Considering going back to my old glasses because at least they didn't physically hurt me
Today's Bridge: We were playing defensively all day. Brent started with a 3S pre-empt off one - two diamonds, two clubs, ace of spades, and no way to get rid of any of them. Then I sacrificed at 2H and made a good run at a crossruff, but I misjudged an underlead of an ace and gave up a trick that Ryan gave back by not covering the queen of spades, ( Read more... ) -
Now is not the time I'd have chosen to return to my regular life
It was a busy weekend - I recorded a Dominion video and a session of Goblins 3 guest videos, and got a new pair of glasses. It's only temporary, because they won't have the high-index lenses I need for a week or more, but it makes text readable if I can orient my head so I'm looking straight at it through the center of the lenses. I have no ( Read more... ) -
Eyes don't work that way
Today's Bridge: I rather botched a 2NT because I was playing as if it were 3NT - I had S K-6-5 H A-J-9-x-x D A-x C A-9-x and Brent had S A-Q-9-x-x H K D 10-x-x-x C 8-x-x. From K-Q-J-10-7 of clubs, Raymond led the seven, and it ran to my nine. With control of every suit, I decided to duck a spade to establish the suit against a 4-1 split, but it ( Read more... ) -

At least I have one game with David Tennant in it
It's been a fun weekend. Mom and I got to play Clank, Dominion Nocturne, and the Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle game. We started at Game 2 and made our way to Game 4. We were up against a horrible pairing of bad guys on our first attempt at Game 4 and still came pretty close, but the second attempt was much smoother and we didn't even lose the first ( Read more... ) -
Amnesia is way too convenient as a plot device, even when it's induced
I had therapy today. As always, I got some things to think about, mainly because my therapist is leaving her practice in a few months. I'll have to decide whether to start with a new therapist (possibly the EMDR therapist, but without the EMDR unless I need it) or just try to work things out on my own for a while. I also finally got an answer of ( Read more... ) -
I might have met a new friend at Subway. It remains to be seen.
I wanted to do my food shopping this morning, but the trunk of my car was frozen shut. I had to wait until the ice had melted a bit, and even then, I had to force it open. At least I got it done, and I'm holding back a bit on sugar since my glucose was way up again. Still not so high that I'm worried, but until I get another A1C reading, I still ( Read more... ) -
Still messing with desynched audio. The right timing is somewhere between the extremes, I know it
It rained early this morning, and then it snowed on top of the rain. I know because I was up taking doses of Pepto-Bismol. This evening, I watched a car drive down the road sideways, so I believe I'll stay inside tomorrow and maybe consider venturing out on Sunday, after the plows and traffic have had time to operate a bit. On the bright side, I ( Read more... )
