This was day for our weekly cribbage match. Tom's the master and Anita and I are learners. They drive to the OFH and I take them to the bistro for lunch. Big spending it is not, as they both like soup which is $4.00 a bowl. Cribbage is a social game and, by Tom's estimate, 80% luck based on the cards you draw. Both Tom and Anita are so gregarious they're making OFH acquaintances. Both of them also know inmates here.
The qualifying rounds for women's basketball World Cup began today. USA defeated Senegal. It's not a "loser go home" scenario. USA got 2pts for the win and Senegal 1pt for the loss. The USA team, all from the WNBA, are young stars. Watching Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers passing to each other which led to three point scores is refreshing. Old pros like Brenda Stewart and Tiffney Griner are not on the team. Kara Lawson, coach of South Carolina, is the team coach. Several WNBA coaches were visible on the bench. Watching as much basketball as I do, all the players are identifiable by sight.
There was an OFH resident's meeting today, which I accessed via closed circuit TV. The landline, part of our rental package, is being discontinued. Mine was seldom used. Our internet access, also included in our rent, is being upgraded to private access at 150gbs. Another 100 hundred channels will be available on our cable access TV, which is also included in the rent. How excited I am by another 100 TV channels can hardly be expressed! Can you imagine how many questions were asked by the inmates in attendance? That's what passes for excitement here.
Takk for alt,
