It Finally Happened!!!

Today is a red letter day, a day that will go down in the history books, a day that I will look back at with fond esteem. It is the day I beat James at chess! 

Don’t get me wrong, I have beaten him in chess before, but it wasn’t the same. Before, when I would win, I captured all his guys and I just had to pin down his king—which I ALWAYS need help with. Tonight was monumental because not only did I put him in checkmate but I completely caught him of guard. I said “checkmate” and his response was “no, wait, it’s not checkmate; I can get out of it.” And yet he couldn’t! James is now saying that he will not play chess with me ever again—I doubt that. Anyway, for 6 years I have been losing at chess and still playing. I guess it’s because “I is now a college student.”

YAY! Gotta love it when ya catch then off guard. I used to LOVE it when I would do that to my dad. So when I flew off to Europe for the summer, I shipped him back a brand new hand carved chess set. LOL! Now I want to go play some chess.

That's funny. Good job. I hate chess.
