Oh To Be Feeling Fit

Thanks for so many good wishes.  I am going to need them all today.  Pamela and I were originally scheduled to play 3 matches but I am feeling pretty terrible so its more likely to be 2.  I have a bad cold which has gone to my chest but Ray says stop whining, just play.

My goal is to stay focused on the China match right now and see if I can play my best just for that one match and then worry about future matches afterwards.  We had a nice match against Croatia on China First (a Chinese Internet Vugraph feed).  This made me feel good because in Estoril when I was on Vugraph (in the closed room) I had a terrible match.  I was just too nervous.  This time I could think that noone I knew was likely to be watching!

Pamela has been wonderful to play with.  I hope I can hold my own today.  Sorry I am too tired to write up some hands now although there were many interesting ones yesterday. 

Cross your fingers for us today.
