John, dirty man that he is, immediately suggested that the runner up would watch. Cindy was game. It was going to be my first tournament, while John k...ew a lot about chess and on a good day could win against anybody. Andy was strangely subdued. He won his first game but had to work. I was sure that I lost in the opening but I kept playing and I won. John was telling me proudly that he totally outplayed his opponent rated four hundred points above him.

Moreso than usual, you mean," Warren quipped."You goof! Yeah, moreso than usual. Plus I keep leaking, that's damn annoying!" Maybe you should try to stop breastfeeding," June said."Nah. I can deal with it. It's healthier for Betsy. It's just that, with the damn things overinflated, I have to wear a really tight sports bra so I don't give Warren a black eye," Sophia said with a grin."Yeah, but what a way to get a black eye!"Sophia and Warren were at home one Saturday when.
