I played 4 hours of chess last night, on a big beautiful marble set. Each figure was individually hand-sculpted and signed by the artist. It looked to be "Medieval England" all washed-out and grey, carrying books and mallotts, VS. the "Arabian Nights" in vibrant bright-orange clothing, turbans, with giant machetes.

I won 2/5...to someone who is quite good.

I forgot all about how much I used to love chess. I was in the "Chess Club" for chrissake, and not too shabby! Yeah-yeah I know Kyla in a chessclub(?)is hard to believe..

I'm much better now that I'm older, and not high on pot every day of my life. I remember I used to stand around and watch the old men playing under the trees in parks, being too afraid to challenge them in fear that I'd take one helluva beating...in no time.

I miss living with my Dad because I always had someone to play with. Its pretty tough to scrape people up for anything these days.

If anyone's down for some chessin' this winter let me know. Its gonna be a long one!
