I think my coffee knew that a) it was so cold outside that I'd welcome the burn, and b) I actually brought painkillers with me today in preparation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

RIP Bobby Fischer. Gotta respect the skills even if it came with a boatload of crazy. I'm curious if medication that might have helped him would have inhibited his chess ability or not.
