SwanShadow was randomly pounding the keyboard at 9:28 AM
Like nearly everyone in the blogosphere, I'm a freelance writer. Unlike nearly everyone in the blogosphere, I actually make my living at it. No, really.
Who is SwanShadow? I'm a husband, a father, a writer, a speaker, a voice actor, a commentator, a minister, a teacher, a pop culture analyst, a baseball fanatic, a trivia maven, a student of comic book history (especially Silver and Bronze Age superhero comics), and a second tenor in a world-class a cappella chorus. I was also an undefeated champion on Jeopardy!, back before some guy named Ken Jennings made it look easy.
4 insisted on sticking two cents in:
I'd love to join you, but I really hate poker. Especially the Texas Hold 'em type. Have fun!
Shelli: I play poker because I'm really lousy at chess.
How do you feel about Yahtzee?
Yahtzee I love. I used to play it all the time with my grandma when I was younger, so I have fond memories. I'm too dumb for Chess.
Shelli: Oh, posh. I don't believe you're dumb at all. :)
I'm a fairly intelligent person -- and have test scores to prove it -- but my chess skills suck because (a) I have an extremely attenuated attention span, and thus don't have the necessary focus; and (b) I'm not a lineal thinker, and thus can't envision the game several moves ahead.
Chess requires a surfeit of left-brain thinking, and I'm mostly a right-brain guy.
