Chess

I also found that guys who liked poker were kind of dorks, annoying

Only about half of us, the rest are OK.

well when you live alone on a farm in the middle of nowhere, I will cut you some slack

but if you had a pretty younger woman to socialize with,

I would not waste any time on degenerate gambling then

[Smitty-48]

I hate cards, and I never gamble

I will play chess, I like chess, I just suck at it

but : chess is not social

because there is no conversation

I'm not chatting when I play chess, I'm just concentrating

I just got two more flags for my collection. I'm flying them now to get the creases out.





With my Cross of St George I've got all my grandparents covered now.

the CT-33 Silver Star just flew over the house

brilliant white against the morning blue sky

I was up at 4am for the meteor shower earlier as well

I'd say the best I can do in chess is give a good chess player a worthy opponent

they are going to beat me, but I won't make it easy, they'll have to use their skills

thing is tho, after a couple games, I'll get bored and wander off

The Perseid shower?
Too overcast here last night.
Lovely sunset though.

yeah, it was perfect conditions here, perfectly dark & clear

they were coming every couple minutes, there was probably about 30 between 4am & 5am

Did you ever train far enough North to see the Northern Lights?

I remember growing up in the Co-Op I had a neighbour who was a chess whizz, Jonathan

he had a computer, he was a nerd

but I hung out with him to play video games on his computer

but my game back then was baseball, we played in the Don Valley, all the tough kids

so Jonathan my neighbour, he would just beat my ass in chess, it was no contest

he only ever came down to the baseball diamond once

he didn't play, he was just watching

then for some reason he started chirping me, heckling me from the stands

so all the tough kids looked at me, like are you gonna let that nerd say that to you ?

then I went over and smacked Jonathan around, not beat him up, just scared the shit out of him

then Jonathan;s mother said I wasn't allowed to play with him anymore, no more video games

but whatever, back to baseball
