Resident of North Carolina. Separated, No children. No pets. No life, really. Chess may be a nice diversion, but if I had my way, I would sucking on cold longnecks in a tropical paradise. I much prefer the slower pace of the southern climates, but I love the breakneck pace of a good hockey game. I admire Canadians, but because of my fetish for beaches, I could never be one. As for the rest of the world, if you have a beach and a bar, we are on good footing.
