Random thoughts, bulleted

• As I was waking this morning, the folks on my bedside radio were talking about the upcoming Alamo Bowl game, to be held just down the street from my hotel on 2nd January. Even though the teams scheduled to play in that game haven’t been officially announced yet, the early word is that the teams we’ll have the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Michigan State Spartans in town. Gee, I hope that turns out to be true!
• One of the first bits of local news I found on the Internet today was of a Bigfoot sighting over on the west side of the city. Heh. As long as he stays away from the Riverwalk…
• I’m in the process of joining another chess club. Not that I’m particularly displeased with those in which I’m active right now, but Chess.com offers an interesting set of features. At this moment I’m playing through a “welcome game” there, something required of everyone who wants to join the club. And I’m looking around, deciding which of the many options available there I’ll explore first.
• There’s a steady, cold rain falling right today. According to forecasts it’s supposed to be cold and wet for the next couple of days. That means Roscoe stays home. Heck, I’m fine with that. There are lots of chess games to work on, lots of comic books to organize, and a little Christmas tree to decorate.

Posting text msgs here from my cellphone works so smoothly, I can see this becoming my main micro-blog.

Not sure why I’m so glad it’s Tuesday. Maybe it’s relief that Monday is over and done with.

For some reason, this month seems to be dragging on forever.

A MUCH better day!

As expected today has been so darned much better than yesterday!

My Friday was almost totally wasted. Other than listening to the Cowboys game and moving in one, only one, chess game, that is.

Today I’ve moved through all my scheduled chores and caught up on most of what I missed on Friday. Days like this I really enjoy!
