Last night I played chess and pool till almost 4:30. It was nice to finally get my butt kicked in chess again...I love a challenge.

The unfortunate thing about last night is that Bahloo (my cat) ran away. I spent the morning walking around my new neighborhood looking for him but there was no sign. I walked all the way to the highway figuring he'd probably be heading east trying to go back to the only home he's ever known but once again there was no sign. He's never run away before, but I guess the smells and sounds of the new neighborhood probably confused him. I feel so guilty for losing him.

On the upside, I now know the location of every single mango and orange tree in my neighborhood...
