This evening I am writing from Tempe, in a rather chilly hotel room. I can't seem to get the temperature just right, as it seems either too hot or too cold. The regulator is set to 74 degrees but it seems confused. So the fan is blowing away. It will make a nice white noise for sleeping.
The Scrabble tournament is finished and sweet friend Linda came in first place in our division. I fared rather poorly while having a strenuous time of it. I'll show you a picture of one of my games after its completion. The fun part of it was my opponent, Erik, made a most excellent find when he put down the word " birdcage" and then my next move after that was "bird" because it looked symbiotic. Not many points, however.
After the tourney ended this afternoon, Linda and I took a metro bus northwards and saw the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. It was beautiful weather for viewing cactus.
Chihuly glass purchased for their gardens on permanent display.
We had a nice lunch at Gertrude's. Home tomorrow.
