I play my dad in chess about two times every day. I mean every day. When we first started doing this there was no chance that I would beat him. I now actually have beat him once this year and he doesn't let me take back moves any more. That's a good thing.

Now sports. The Yankees haven't made any big moves at the winter meeting so I'm very dissapointed. The New York Mets on the other hand have signed a truckload of big name players( Carlos Delgado, Billy Wagner, Paul Lo Duca) so I'm very dissapointed. But I'm sure glad that I'm not a Marlins fan right now. They are shipping off all of their players( Delgado, Lo Duca, A.J. Burnett, Josh Beckett, and Mike Lowell). Rafeal Furcal has gone to the Dodgers and thats basically the only other big signing. I will be keeping this blog up to date with the latest baseball moves whether you want me to or not.
