Time outs; I believe 6 or so in the last 24 hours. I am in the hospital with no postponement
time for 3 more days---I used it up trying to get my self a bit better 2 weeks ago. As many of
you know, I am sick. But, these time outs really hurt me as I had been on a real good run
and am now smashed on the rocks. Im not allowed to use computer too much and when they
caught me on my Blackberry they took it away...Nazi bastards...because they say it
intereferes with their machines---"they say"---its a pile of crap, but I have it here in my bag
for after they think Im tucked in bed. and medicaTED TOo high heaven...which doesnt make
for very good chess either...

I feel very badly...Im sick, I hurt, Im tired and Im losing. Im going to ring for more
morphine.

Ta-ta

Sorry too have messed things up.

DoK, and a mad one at that.

As for your personal best, it will just make for more aggressive games to come forth now...and the rest of us a chance to try and polish up our own efforts.

Take care, and sending you lots of happy thoughts :):)

Im back...

Message:
but am not playing. I cant play right now...Im on the disabled list...

I am a bit better and glad to be home. i am of course not happy about my timeouts in the
hospital. I cost the team 10 points. Perhaps the fact that I couldn't postpone and that I had
won the prior 14 in a row might soothe the urge to slug me thru the screen.

But, I certainly maintain a high value on the teams success and am likely more hurt than
anyone by my losses...I had a nice run I was working on.

I appreciate your kind words and will be back in playing form as soon as I can...perhaps a bit
of time off wont hurt me...

I appreciate the team captain for simply requiring that I send him, via FedEx Overnight, a
testicle of my choosing, which he says will remain in a jar of formaldehyde on his desk,
instead of my resignation from the team.

He claims it will reside next to his mouse as a paper weight ( I told him that was overkill
unless he lives in a Tornado Alley, but he insisted ) and that he will require the other and
more, should I pull another stunt like this. I jest of course...about the other one.
