That's forty!

As of this morning’s weighing, I’ve lost my fortieth pound since starting to exercise back in, um, 1998. I weighed 302 starting out, got down to 270 or so, lost heart and was back up to 300 by April 2002. Today: 262.

Queen's spammer to bishop three

I played chess with James again today; he beat me this time. At the point I resigned, I was down to a rook and a queen, he had two rooks and a queen, and we each had a few pawns, but he had the far superior position. We talked about making Thursday a regular chess night; next week I may introduce him to Icehouse.

I just got a spam message advertising “high stakes sex”. Huh? A typical sexual encounter carries with it risks of pregnancy and AIDS — life and death. How can the stakes get higher than that? Has someone figured out a sexual technique that could end in genocide? Intercourse of Mass Destruction?
