It does seem that when I get older time just goes by ever faster and do not seem to have time to do as much when I was younger. Well, I may have more things to do these days as well and only time I can rest is when I get to sleep... As my games in progress hit 296 today, I thought maybe I should start four more games to get to even 300. It is of course quite insane to play so many games as I do have other things to do with my time than just move in my correspondence games. I did join a few team matches though and I may hit 300 before I get year older again in a few days time... Second posted loss in a row, will this losing streak continue tomorrow is not yet certain as I do not know at the moment what I will post then. Today I was not able to add more puzzles as time just run out too fast. Tomorrow I should have more time to spend on the blog updates, so I will add more puzzles then.
