<p>Congrats DaddyO. At least you'll have no more #Football to annoy you? I recommend a good chess #Book on the Accelerated Dragon maybe?</p>
<div class="indented">Reply - anonymous - 1/18/16 6:14pm<br><p>My wife and I were in the hospital room watching the game on this ridiculously tiny standard def TV. Of course the Hawks were being destroyed in a manner we have never seen before. The doctor walked in, and from there we didn't see much. </p>
<p>In high school I dabbled in chess, but quickly figured out I just didn't have the kind of intelligence to master it. I could beat people who didn't know what they were doing, but I couldn't stay interested in the abstract discussions and learning the technical skills necessary to become a devotee.</p>
<p>Thanks Doc!</p>

'tis like learning a language; lots of folks in other countries speak 4,5 languages but they're like "how does that horsey move again?"</p>
<p>We'll keep you in our prayers DaddyO and look forward to your articles on your medical challenges!</p>
