We finally have iced tea back in the break
room! Parks Coffee found a few bibs and I
collected about a three-month supply.
If Parks can't provide them, I'm going to look
around for another provider. I do love my Arnold
Palmers. :)
I'm also working on finding smaller cups for
coffee and cold drinks. I'd rather not have
styrofoam, though those tend to be the least
expensive. The paper cups don't do well with
cold beverages. I'll keep looking for solutions
for our solutions. :)
LA Chess Social
 We
did something really different this week.
Zachary connected with a group called "LA Chess
Social" that holds monthly chess tournaments,
and a large tournament twice a year. We made
arrangements to host the group at the bridge
club this past Saturday night.
I was traveling and didn't get to be there
(Zachary was), and it sounds like they had about
90 folks present for an evening of chess and
socializing. Maybe it's something we'll do
regularly!
Their events rotate to different venues every
month, and I'd love having the Pasadena Bridge
Club in the rotation. You can read about LA
Chess Social at this link. Their Pasadena
Bridge Club event may be online for a
little while here.
