Bi-weekly chess meetings started tonight. Stop by if you want to shake us down for lunch money. Stop by if you want a game of chess. Stop by if you want a chance to enjoy Levitra-sponsored pizza. Just kidding about that last one. I'm only getting one Levitra-sponsored pizza. Allow me to explain: A pharmaceutical company greased my dad for prescriptions with handmade pizzas. In turn, he gave that pizza to me and went back to prescribing the same medicine he's been dispensing for years...and I got to share it on chess night. People complain about the high price of medicine in America...and I just lived one of many reasons why they should complain.

As for the actual game of chess, check these images of chess teams past and present. One of the following images made me laugh:
-One
-Two
-Three
-Four

Tonight I won my first match and lost another one. That means my record this year is 1-6. Total classic 16.666667% action.

Unrelated to chess: Have you ever seen a picture of yourself and random ladies taken during a blurry night and barely remember who those women were? I think I saw one of these such random people tonight...and I think she saw me, but I don't think she recognized me. At least I hope she didn't. Since I had no idea at the time why I recognized the face, I would have been dead at 'hello.'
