## Morning Mastodonians!
Another pretty quiet weekend, despite the fantastic weather. I didn't get any reading done. I did play a solo game of *La Granja* last night. You'd think I would like this game, with its multiuse cards, different systems and even a dice action part. But it has always fell flat with me. Figure I will give it a good shot. Still lukewarm after playing once, but I will give it another go tonight probably.
Speaking of lukewarm, I watched the first episode of *Queen's Gambit* (yeah, I know, a little late in the game). I liked the chess parts but the psychological drama left me a little cold. My daughter A really loved it (and wants to learn how to play), so I will continue to give it a watch.
But nothing else on TV. Patriots lost a sad little game. Red Sox got swept by the Yankees. But the Ryder Cup was fun to watch though. The US mowed down Europe, playing plenty of brilliant golf. Always reminds me of the 1999 Ryder Cup, played locally. I watched while holding my first born, fresh out of the oven. Was pretty special.
As the yawning dark mouth of the salt mine appears in front of me, I was surprised to note I only have a couple meetings on tap. Meeting Monday isn't holding up its bargain! Perhaps I will get some work done in that case. Maybe even close out my one bug for the next release. Wouldn't that be special?
Stay safe. GET VACCINATED! Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Watch your distance.
