In Praise of Iron Monkey



Both the raw intelligence between his ears and the fire in his gut have been in evidence consistently in recent months... in his aggressive

campaign to almost singlehandedly promote a cause in which he deeply believes (establishing the Culture Forum) and in his restless

intolerance of real or imagined intellectual/behavioral contradiction (vis-a-vis yours truly's gratuitous threads and posts). These words

represent neither faint praise nor a left handed compliment. Why? Because now and then Monkey's been right on the money and his

personal challenge, irrespective of its motive, has accrued to my cumulative benefit. Also, because I recognize a kindred spirit that

was very much alive and well, flailing away at different time and place targets and windmills... seems like only a few short years ago.



Thanks, Dave.

Rusty, just recognition of reality, awareness of benefit and gratitude. Period.

Let's entertain the possibility of a few games sometime soon. Okay?

I am sure we will meet in one of the club tourneys, Private tourneys, or RHP tournaments.
