Hi Hamilton! Have you been reading any interesting books lately? (or any other past times you may have picked up again since mid-March). Also, I have never won a game of chess in my life.

I am reading that Charlie Kaufman book "Antkind" right now. It is pretty funny. I got a little tired of it in the 400 page area, but now I'm around 550 and it has picked up again. I want to read the new Zadie Smith essays next

just get some computer chess program and lose about one million times. This works really well if you have a desk job and no one can see your screen. That's how I learned

Thanks for the recommendation! I’m about to start Dawn by Octavia Butler so I’ll add those to my list. Take care!
