Checkers.

My new laptop came with a bunch of games. Not only did it have the old standbys like Solitary and Minesweeper, it also has a new assortment.

The other night, as I was going through the games to try them out, I noticed that checkers was also included. Now, I haven’t played checkers in over 30 years, so I thought that I would give it a shot.

When I called up the game, it told me that I would be playing against a live opponent. Well, playing against the machine is one thing but a live opponent is entirely different. And since I hadn’t played in 30 years, I figured that I would get my butt kicked. But, as it turned out, I won.

I guess I was the one kicking butt. Of course, I quit after the first game. I mean, why take chances. But later it occurred to me that I might not have been playing against a seasoned veteran. I fact, for all I know, I could have been playing against a 3rd grader.
