Two Little Misquotes.

Darkness and Decay and the Dolorous state of the human condition are Dominating my consciousness at the moment, and I hope Mr Poe doesn’t mind me putting it that way. But I did have one major success tonight.

I played yet another game of chess against Mr Computer Level 1 (sub-novice) and forced him into a draw. That's one win and two draws now. I imagined I saw a tiny glimmer of light in the distance somewhere, but if I might paraphrase another well known writer: present hopes are less than fond imaginings. (And isn’t it strange that draw and drawer should be homophones?)
