When you play chess with a 2-year-old (who wants to play because she's been watching her siblings play with daddy), the rules are a little different -- you move your pieces to places they can be friends with other pieces. 😁

My grandma told my mom, while she was pregnant, that she shouldn't raise her hands above her head or it'll strangle the baby (me).
Immediately, she thrust both arms in the air. Nearly gave everyone in the room a heart attack.

I have this "grandma theory" of gaming skill -- there are people out there with old consoles, old games, who are have fairly normal lives but fire up these ancients games still.
They're 10,000-hour masters and *nobody knows.* They just play privately for years and years.

All I'm gonna say, 100%, all I'm going to say -- the idea of a "decorative towel" doesn't make any sense. If it's just for decoration, it shouldn't be a towel. If it's a towel, then it's a towel, and you can use it as a towel. If you want decoration, pick something non-towel.

Hi, Ken. I'm returning from a Twitter hiatus, perhaps against better judgement, to ask you a question.
