My grandpa taught me how to order liquer and have it delivered through the bedroon window. I shared the bedroom with the old cuss. We lost him somewhere on skid row in Minneapolis.
My father split when I was eight. We aren't all so lucky as you, grampy. Thats why your pompous self rightousness grates me so.

P.S. Think I'll send over an unrated chess game with you in charge of the white soldiers just in case you're in the mood... providing us with an opportunity to get to know each other.
