I'm 264













Yesterday Scott had a state chess tournament. Before w
e left, Rich played the song "I'm Too Sexy." Scott took 3rd out of 56 2nd graders after playing 6 matches (he only lost 1 to the guy who took 1st). When waiting to hear the results, he said, "I hope I come in 264th." When asked what he meant, he said, "Because then I could be '2 60 4 my shirt, 2 60 4 my hat...'" The trophies they give at these tournaments are so huge that he couldn't be accused of being too sexy or is that 264 his trophy. I finally met Fritz, the guy that runs the chess club at Scott's school. He is a retired school teacher. I'm so grateful to people like him who serve in the community. I wish I could find a way to thank him.
During the long tournament, I took the other kids to Primary Children's Hospital for the Surgical Open House. It was fun, but super crowded. Heidi and Ian enjoyed it and Ian's been wearing his mask and hat around.
Love this little test
