It’s been quite a while since my last post. I’m not apologetic, though I’ll tell you why
the blog was idle.
Sometimes even obsessive players need a lengthy break from
this kind of intense hobby. I know I
did.
Sometimes life intrudes on our hobbies. My recent landscaping project consumed a lot
of time (and even more money).
Sometimes, we develop new interests that occupy our time, as my latest
foray into photography has.
But somehow,
I always get sucked back into this old and comfortable pastime. My incentive to return from this hiatus is May’s North
American Championships and the Week of Nightmares. It’s not so much the back-to-back tournaments
that we play that week that lure me.
But the people……that’s the draw. I get to see friends from everywhere in the
world during that week-long marathon.
They are good people, fun people and often among the diabolically clever people I
know. The only downside is that much of
the time we spend together is totally devoted to orchestrating their demise.
So, for at least a
couple of months, I’ll be back to using Inferior Babble to organize my thoughts
for the upcoming week of Nightmares. Yes, I said I'm going for the people, but I can't help but try to be competitive at the same time.
Once again, I welcome those of you demented enough to read
along with me as I try to organize my thoughts in crystalline ways.
