• We visited an Episcopal church yesterday, as we decided to commence with church shopping again. It was a beautiful service--very holy and meaningful--and we are certain that we will return. The pastor was a woman, which was pretty sweet. We've both been leaning toward something more traditional and high-church for a while.
  
  David and I went to a local coffee shop called Sweet Eugene's on Saturday and played a game of chess while we waited for his friend Jake to come. David broke my three-game winning streak with a killer game, where he cornered by queen and destroyed my defense (I was lured out).
  
  It was beautiful to watch, though I did not enjoy being defeated. I used to play a lot of chess with my brother when I was younger, but David rarely played before playing me. It's really neat to see him gain confidence as he learns how to fully exploit every piece. He is also beginning to see that I am really not than much better than him, even though I've played a lot more. I have no natural gift for playing chess.
  
  It is very hot now (in the high 90s all the time, coupled with enough humidity to suck all of your energy), but we are still biking or walking nearly every day (David is much better at it than I). We sweat all the time, though. It's become the norm. I told David that I've never sweated this much since marching band. He was in high school sports, though, so he's a sweating pro. now we sweat just by walking down the street to the bus. We sweat while we stand and wait for the bus. Texas is yucky.
  
  This morning a bug flew in when David opened the door and went straight for my face. He ended up on my back and then was squashed by David and fell to the floor. Texas is trying to kill me.
