Watching someone play chess was often more fun. It wasn't as engaging and instead acted as background video. What a decent way to make money Pete thought. Could he do it for the rest of his life? Probably not. Nobody could retire in  Spacecity . They'd surely send you down...

My Feelings when Viewing my Earliest Posts

I'm planning to write a script to let 200WAD writers import their old posts onto here. I think it would make for a good portal to nostalgia for us old timers. To get a hit of this nostalgia myself, I went over there to read some of my earliest posts...

Because of COVID I stopped going out to eat with friends as a regular thing. In fact, I stopped even going out to eat or getting take out at all. I can't remember the last time I didn't cook my own meal.
