Humpday Report

The last few days, I've been playing chess at gameknot.com. I'm trying to brush up in case I end up playing Toby. He is an AVID player and I haven't played a real game in YEARS! Right now, I have two games in progress, but it will take days to finish either of them. So far one of my opponents averages one move per day, and the other averages two moves for day. I guess 'serious' chess players need hours and hours to decided on a move. I think I'm going to look for another site

Last night Tip gave my a really pretty collectible teapot for Christmas. He had intended it for his ex-wife, but I ended up with it. Even if he gave it to me to spite her, I still appreciate the gift. He could have taken it back or given it to his mother or sister. I've thought about getting him some sort of small gift, but I haven't a clue as to what I would get him. I thought of maybe a wallet or a money clip. I don't know. Maybe I should just give him a nice Christmas card.

Tonight I'm going to Carrollton to hang out with Kelly for awhile. I saw her Saturday, but it's kinda hard to visit while she's trying to hostess a birthday party! Anyway, tonight we should get to time to sit down and chat and get caught up on what the other has been up to.

Last night's karaoke show wasn't too bad. It started off pretty slow, but then ended up with a pretty good crowd. Just before I shut it down at 1:30, it dwindled down again. It was a major improvement over the last couple of weeks.
