Diary - Jun 11 to Jun 17 2022

Sat Jun 11 2022

Sleep 0230 to 0930. 1 hour nap. (8 hours)

  • Nemo finished her 7 rounds in the Open. She ended up 3.5/7. Maybe she could have gotten to 4.5/7 but after the first day the tournament sections are 2 games a day and she had opponents that wanted to grind it out for five hours which then makes you tired for the second game.

Sun Jun 12 2022

Sleep 0700 to 1330. (6-1/2 hours)

  • GM Daniel Naroditsky will have a New York Times Games page daily chess puzzle starting tomorrow.
  • It's a little weird that I go to PayPal, Activity tab, then click a download image link to get to the monthly transactions download page. When I click on a download icon I expect it to immediately want to download the page contents.

Mon Jun 13 2022

Sleep 0030 to 0330, 0600 to 1000. (7 hours)

  • Warriors win at home, now leading 3-2 vs Celtics. Next game in Boston.

Tue Jun 14 2022

Sleep 0330 to 1130. (8 hours)

  • Apple announced a 10-year deal with Major League Soccer (the tier 1 league in the US) to stream all games. This will be an add-on service for all the games (price to be announced), a "broad selection" of games for Apple TV+ subscribers, and a "limited number" of games free to anyone. I'm not interested in watching every game but if it's say two games a week like Friday Night Baseball that will be quite good enough for me.
  • Received my Roth IRA excess contribution transfer. That took a couple of months, about twice as long as the estimate.

Wed Jun 15 2022

Sleep 0330 to 1130. (8 hours)

  • Scheduled car service for Friday. When I tried to contact Christopher, my usual rep, he left a voicemail saying he had stroke last September and he's still convalescing.

Thu Jun 16 2022

Sleep ???

  • Warriors win in Boston and win the series 4-2.

Fri Jun 17 2022

Sleep 0000 to 0700. (7 hours)

  • Car Service at Toyota Walnut Creek
  • Lunch at Butternut Cafe, was kind of full of no-mask old people (I didn't have a mask either so...)
  • I had not heard of MLB's Ghost Runner rule until tonight (in extra innings each team starts with a runner on second base). I can appreciate it as a way to prevent epic extra inning games.
