Magnus Carlsen defeated Viswanathan Anand in Sochi, Russia to retain the World Chess Championship title.

Been super-busy lately, with a friend's father's funeral, another friend dying, and trying to get this: http://chessiecon.org/ together.

I have been awake for 21 hours. I have made 2 apple pies (from scratch). One just put in the oven and the other is already cool and wrapped up for tomorrow.

Had a great time yesterday ... good food and just a nice day all around. Today, I think we're going to a movie. :)

Rabbit is a happy man tonight

Because?

Aha.

My mom and I just bagged the homemade turkey soup for some pizza and wings. We both decided we were over it.

Wings ... now that sounds good ... and, at this early hour (almost 1AM), I'm not really sure why. :shrug:

So, one of my programming ideas for the con went like this:

Talked to PF yesterday on the phone. He's been one busy feller. No problems, just busy.

I have to tell two things.

Number one (and most important): Today is Lilith's birthday!

Number two: I got my oscar cichlid and pictus cat fish today. So far so good.

We had a tank of cichlids we loved

I had an oscar when I was in high school. Unfortunately, he jumped out of the tank in the middle of the night. I'm hoping my new guy doesn't do something similar. Currently the two fish seem to be doing quite well. The pictus adjusted quite quickly, but the oscar hasn't gotten his color back just yet. He doesn't appear to be stressed, he's just bland in color.
