Do you subscribe to Netflix? 📺 I think we’re among the last holdouts, but we finally bit the bullet. We’ve heard it has lots of great content, but where to start? 🏁 A year ago, @mistygirlph did a great illustration of Beth Harmon👧 that stayed in my mind. So we started with The Queen’s Gambit. 👑 Have you seen it? Neither of us really plays chess & wondered how it could be that interesting, but we were blown away by it. 🤯 My in-laws used to travel a lot🛫 because my father-in-law’s work required it. Rich sold airplanes for Boeing, ✈️ which took him to a lot of places around the world. 🌐 On one of his trips, he brought back a hand-carved alabaster chess set♟️ as a souvenir. Boeing would deliver planes to customers🛬 (usually empty, to be finished at the destination) & sometimes executives were allowed to let family members hitch a ride👍 to the delivery destination. 🗺️ Back then, my husband & I were lucky to jump on a delivery flight that departed from Seattle for Hamburg, Germany. 🇩🇪 There were maybe a dozen “passengers” on our flight. 🎒 The plane interior included bolted down seats & a couple of ice chests🧊 duct-taped to the floor. The coolers contained sandwiches🥪 & drinks!🥤 It was incredibly spacious. I remember thinking there was enough room for a bowling alley in there! 🎳 My father-in-law was one of my favorite people in the world. 💝 Ten years ago I wrote a blog post about him. 🥇 As I thought about the The Queen’s Gambit & the chess set, 🤔 I got to thinking about Rich. If you click my link above🔗 to my original blog post, ✍️ called “Who Do You Admire?” you’ll see Jack Dorsey, 🐦 who ironically symbolized the new breed many have come to admire. But you’ll also see Rich—the real hero of the story. 🏆 Are you a seasoned veteran of Netflix? 🕵️♂️ We could use a few recommendations! 📋 I hope you’ll share your favorite❣️ As for the chess set, it’s now enjoyed by guests at The Horsfall House. 🏡 . .
