And it'll only get lighter as the day wears on.

I think I'm going to take a hard look at my old chess set; maybe there's room enough in there for some liquid courage? I think I can pry the weights out; I just gotta think how to keep the precious liquid from leaking out when I slam the pieces down on my way to a stunning checkmate. It can't make my play any better, but it can certainly convince me I'm playing better! The Chile Doctor As always, truly cutting edge stuff here on the TU.
