    I was debating it as I got a Get out of Jail Free card for fathers day. 8) I think I may play at the Bow club in a 1 day swiss the following week.

    I understand that Walt and Art are going to be there.

    Tak: I would have kissed the player that allowed me that position. It is straight out of heaven (PCT). I take it you dispatched him in short order.

    Jim--I was supposed to start playing you 10 minutes ago in our LEPers game. I am at a library where I simply cannot get FICS to work, as much as I tried finalging with it. Awfully sorry about that. I won't be home until tomorrowso we might have to try netx weekend unless you're a real night person. I'm going to see if I can arrange something else during the week, will let you know. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Jim, let's play at 4:30 pm Eastern (1:30 for me) on Sunday. I've never tried playchess actually--I hope you don't mind FICS, it's been my home base for a couple of years. I'll check out playchess and see what it's like.

    Jim, I'll go on FICS at 4:30 Eastern today and see if you're there for our game, if not no big deal, we'll catch up some time soon.
