My Spare Time

Most of my life is devoted to work and family, so there's not many open time/energy spots for judo, social outings, or what have you.

I've decided I want to get better at chess.

I never had the patience or people to play against when I was younger. I still don't, but when your opponent is a computer it's easy to get up and walk away. Then, when I am active, the computer takes its turns much quicker than a person. With all of the free chess learning websites, it's a great fit. If learn enough, I'd love to pass some of it on to Shane or some students.

It keeps me busy when the house gets quiet.
