Chess

I'm sorry to go directly against Laura's posting boycott and ruin what, otherwise, could have been the boringest month in Howe Thoughts history. But, this one was too good to pass up.

As an offshoot of his Stratego obsession, Talmage has recently enquired about chess. He found a chess set at Papa's house. I tried to convince him it wasn't the right game for him by telling him that's a game for twenty-year olds. He insisted, so I taught him the best I knew how. I had to keep running to Papa to ask the rules.

After his second game (and second defeat) featured in this video, Talmage regained his composure by saying, "Maybe you keep beating me because you're over twenty, and I'm not yet."

"Maybe that's right," I answered.

In the meantime, do I really have no immmediate family members who read and would like to continue reading this blog? I've been sorely misled.
