Chess

My WIP is on temporary hold until I finish a huge project at work, with a deadline of November 11th.

Which just happens to be my late father's birthday. (Love you, Dad.)

Who just happened to have taught me how to play chess.

Which is what I'm going to be doing in November from the 21st through the 23rd, in the Georgia Class Championships.

Which reminds me of the first tournament I ever played in, the Southern Open, in Nashville Tennessee, long, long ago.

Where my very first tournament game was against a young girl. Nervous doesn't begin to describe how I felt. A girl? Why do I have to play against a girl? Hey, I was a kid. Give me some slack.
