  1. Thank you! Of course, I went out to the Thai place near you because their anniversary and my b-day coincide (but they're closed on Wednesday) and it's become a "tradition." Tho they always give me a free dessert of green tea ice cream, this one was way too big and they added in a big cheesecake too that I didn't really need. 😀 Ice cream was shared and the cheesecake came home.

  8. "Yesterday [Sept. 8, 2024], we welcomed 18 wonderful Veterans who worked at Bletchley Park during WW2 to return to the once top-secret site for the Annual Veterans’ Reunion. Aged between 97 to (almost) 102, Veterans enjoyed an afternoon tea in the Mansion, spending time together, with family and friends and reminiscing on their wartime experiences. Hazel Halter, who worked in the Naval Section during WW2, is now 99 years old and attended the reunion for the first time. She said: "I am so glad I came here to my first reunion. I have had a most enjoyable time. I was so happy during my time working at Bletchley Park, with wonderful friends. It has brought back so many lovely memories."
  9. His writing for Planet of the Apes really made the movie the shocking success it was back in '68.
  10. Ray Charles learned to play chess while in rehab for his heroin addiction. He played on a specially designed board with raised and lowered squares, allowing him to differentiate between the light and dark. The pieces had round or pointed tops according to their color.
  11. I think you mean the Chess Olympiad, but, yes, he participated for something like 5 years.
