Where Oh Where Is My Cat

The fourth straight lost in a row I call that a slump. And the cat isn't around it is gone. Things could be much worst but we won't invite tragedy which is what is in the news each and every day. Bernie Madoff''s son age 42 or so just did himself in now that is tragedy. And as usual a few of the big celebrity people are diagnosed with terminal illnesses. I've known people involved in fatal accidents so losing a bunch of chess games pales to the real news of tragedy or just plain bad news and I shall savor the fact that at the present I'm just having a mere chess slump not an experience of losing my mind and mental health in a real war like many of the Vietnam veterans I have known who came back to civilian life all messed up in their heads from an unpopular war. For this I am grateful I have not experienced that part of life. Yes I could read blogs of war stories but no I don't think so but they are there for anyone interested. I've seen and heard enough war stories from those in combat from the Vietnam war as it is it is time to move on and get on with life as it is.
