What a day! Alan, his friend David and I departed early for Wolverhampton. It was a nice sunny 70° day for a football match.
My ticket gained me admission to Billy’s Boot Club (Billy Wright was captain of their last championship of all England in 1959) and the three course lunch was quite nice. I had a nice conversation with a local named Paul and his son Tom and Paul treated me to a drink.
The match was scoreless back and forth for the first 25 minutes and then suddenly Chelsea were up 3-0 at half time and won 5-2. Abraham had a hat trick.
Back in Oxford we met Iain and Tiff, Linda and Barbara at the King’s Arms for dinner. Afterward we went to The Turf (estd. 1381) for a whiskey and had a lengthy discussion of JFK, LBJ and the Vietnam War.
No run today 🙁 – Ed
