Chess anyone?
Sun Apr 14 2002

For Christmas I got Hunkka-hunkka Hubby a chess set.

He has been asking for one for quite a while now, so I finally broke down and got one for him. Now that he had it, he needed someone to play with. Did I play? No. Did I want to learn? Sure, why not? I'm caught up on laundry.

That was back in December.

For the first few months, I didn't have problems finding a partner to play with. Hubby had taught me, all the kids knew how to play, besides, it was fun beating Mom at a game of chess, ha-ha.

In February I started winning occasionally. In March, only Hubby could beat me.

No one will play with me now...

Well, I've always wanted to learn to play Backgammon, maybe I will get Hubby that next year....

    Is that your doggy? My he's really BIG!! hehe. So many people have tried to teach me chess but they give up after awhile coz I can never sit through an entire game of chess. I guess interest is an important factor and it isnt present in my case when it comes to chess.

    Backgammon is my favourite game and I'm sure you will find hours of enjoyment with it; but you need a partner.

    There are some fine software packages for both chess and backgammon! (Yeah, I know. Not quite the same thing, is it?)
