Father/Son Chess Lessons

I have been teaching my adopted dad how to play chess over the past week. He has learned very quickly, and has improved his game at an incredible rate. When I was playing the other day, I felt challenged during the game, and while I won the match, I felt that he had a chance to win. I'm looking forward to the day when he wins the match. I am so proud of his progress so far.

Becca

I've begun to date a beautiful young woman named Becca. We've been dating since February 13, and we shared our first kiss on February 27. She has been a great inspiration to grow past the failure of my marriage, and is a reminder of my value as a person. My life is so uncertain now, but I am trying not to think too far ahead. Becca and I have both decided to "go with the flow", and see where the current of life takes us. I can't see myself making any huge commitments to her yet, such as moving in together, sharing bank accounts, sharing money or debt, getting married, or having children. But I might change my mind in time. I feel scared because this is all so new, even though Crystal and I went through the same stages.
