Month: July 2020

As we leave July 2020 and we get closer to the end of 2020 I want to say that the lead up to July was tough. Beginning around Father’ s day and thru the fourth of July was a very difficult time. I did my best to remain productive as I could in both my personal and professional life.

As we head into office I want to be optimistic for the days ahead. There are some big milestone coming up in my personal life and I look forward to the changes to come. I also have concerns about how our country will proceed heading towards November 3rd 2020. Despite many wanting 2020 to be over now we all will have to make it through the increased waves of politic ads and debates. Even before November we hav e to figure out how to safety provide education to children across the country.

It is important to be open to dialogue, the current pandemic does not need to divide us. We need adknowledge the importance of listening and what do when both sides can not agree. Fact checking will be increasing important…. which can be difficult based on where we receive our information and how we go about fact checking.

Please remember its natural to disagree as we are an opinionated species, however lets try to acknowledge that we don’t have to agree to try each other with respect.

At a certain point the best defense turned into offense… and luck.

The thing is that he could have taken with the King and there would not have been a smother mate .

Playing as Black in a one minute game, losing on time and position but White blunders mate in one but my move did not register in time. Rook to E1 was checkmate and a win for me.

It’s exactly one year since my father passed away. He would have been 65 years old today . I have been dreading today . I didn’t know how I would feel and what I would do today .

I stayed in bed until noon, until I couldn’t stand being in bed any longer. While looking somethings up online I decided that I wanted to donate blood . I was able to get a 245 appointment. It was my first time donating since I was 19 or 20 years old.

I hope that someone benefits from my donation and I hope that others who read this will consider donating .

As a side note I know that some think it’s better to donate via non red blood blood banks for various reasons but I encourage you to consider donating in general . As an addition perk you will get COVID antibody testing results in 7-10 days .
