Chess Champion



Cam had his first chess tournament of the year.  The home court advantage must have helped as Cam finished tied for first in the reserve section of the Bethany Chess Tourney.  He had told us going in to the day that he was going to win.  He obviously felt confident.  Due to the tiebreak system he brought home the second place trophy, but he didn't mind at all.  Cam was just glad to have performed well.

Tonight we all went to mass.  Cam was a server.  Doug was supposed to lector, but had to cancel as he got a call at 4:15 stating that one of the buildings at Renegade was on fire.  He left for Bristol and thankfully, Brett was able to step in for him.  After mass Meg left to hang out with Aaron.  Cam and Brett went uptown to watch "IT."  This was the third time that Brett had watched it and the first for Cam.  I was nervous that Cam would be too scared to make it through the movie, but he did just fine.  He said that it was scary, but he could handle it.  Brett enjoyed listening to Cam's comments throughout the movie, especially when he would say, "Don't do it!  Don't go in there."

Doug stayed at the fire for several hours.  It was a fairly decent size one.  He will have follow up work to do, but was able to make it home for dinner.
