Great Nuggets win. They're really something this year.

Congrats, Jen! Keep going!

I'm pretty good at context switching at work.

I can also talk about basketball and chess.

However, when interacting IRL, I really struggle to remember words and names regularly used by humans to chat with each other.

And when that happens, I feel a noticeable glitch.

That seems...not good.

Since Wesley So resigned this position, I've been wondering why in the world he would resign as white and asking if I just don't know how to play at all. It appears to me white is the only side that can win. (Apparently, technically it's a draw.)

I just learned Wesley was playing black!

I'm loving THJ for the Nuggets. It feels like he's already comfortable but also just getting started.

I started writing this before the last second 3 to end the 1st quarter.

I've been told my online blitz #chess rating is lower than my strength.

I'm also aware it's better not to play blitz with a cat on your lap, especially when that cat is likely to jump on the keyboard if a squirrel walks by and especially even more when our neighborhood has endless squirrels.

Yesterday: I'm sure I'll be able to adapt to standard time by tomorrow.

Today: lunch at 10:36 am.

I just wrote a post about something you've surely heard before: "nothing tastes as good as healthy feels". Even if well-intentioned, I think it's just a mean taunt mixed with a heavy dose of virtue signaling.

Is "Nothing Tastes as Good as Healthy Feels" Just a Mean Taunt? (Yes!) - Craig Wilcox
I remember the first time I really thought about what the statement “nothing tastes as good as healthy feels”. I was trying to reason my way through changing my not all the way healthy diet. I realize...

The Nuggets will finally win a game against the Wolves.

I played an OTB #chess tournament this weekend - my first one in 6 months.

I'm getting better, but I'm getting better more slowly than the kids. My rating has dropped overall to it's lowest level ever as an adult, and I'm pretty sad about that.

I definitely need to play more.

With an additional $8 billion for ICE, it's time for a simple reminder: it would take only 1 step to take care of immigration issues.

If employers were charged with felonies for hiring undocumented workers, the problem wouldn't exist.

$8 billion is to terrorize brown people, not solve the problem.

I played #chess this weekend at the Denver Open. I gained a few rating points after a year of only losses.

Rd 1: won a won game.

Rd. 2: lost a lost game (against #1 seed and tourney winner).

Rd. 3: Bye!

Rd. 4: won a lost game.

Rd. 5: drew a won game.

I'm pretty glad I didn't lose a won game!

Way to close the half, Nuggets.

Murray clearly not feeling well, but he can still turn it on when he needs to. I hope that can be in the 4th quarter, too!

The D in OT! Nice work, Nuggets!

Somehow, in 90 seconds, I can play a 24 moves game with almost perfect accuracy.

Give me 90 minutes, and it feels like I can't play at all.

#Chess is cruel!

Ant is 0 for 8 but somehow has the best +/- for the Wolves. He's doing something right...

AG 3 for the win after a monster effort by Jokic!

Unbelievable comeback. It looked like they were dead soooo many times!

OKC depth playing 10 guys versus Denver's 7ish is showing up in the 4th. They're just quicker to the ball.
May 6, 2025 at 3:42 AM
I like the way the Nuggets finished the half. Down 10 but didn't back down when OKC made some time.

After signing up for a demo from Klaviyo, an email marketing company...I haven't received a confirmation email.

Or a follow-up email.

Or anything at all.

I'd think they would have some sort of process to show off their wares.

Both the number 2 and 3 seeds in the Western Conference going down. And they weren't upsets upsets. Just great teams in the West.

Thompson with a calf strain maybe? He's stretching it, but it doesn't look like a cramp to me.

That would be horrible! They take forever to heal.

After watching most of the Nuggets games, here are the 2 biggest reasons they beat the Clippers after a tumultuous season.

1. Jamal Murray is healthy now.
2. Aaron Gordon is healthy now.

I don't say it often, but Westbrook saved the Nuggets first half.

Is MPJ does good defense, you have to challenge!
