I like the idea of you as an aging countess. I had a dream about you and your mother last night, but it was only a 2 minute dream. Probably because had been thinking about the relative youth of your parents.

I was quite relieved to read about AJ beating you at chess, having been roundly thrashed by my grandson last year in his first game. Traumatised, I was.

To really play up the countess bit, though, you're going to have to load up on rhinestones and fur stoles. And a tiara. And you'll have to take up smoking with one of those ivory cigarette holders and call AJ "Alexi" or something in a thick gravelly accent. Maybe that'll distract you from losing.

Chess is my husband’s jurisdiction. He took it upon himself to teach our kids, and was surprised the day Buddy Boy trounced him when he wasn’t particularly paying attention.

There is nothing wrong with raising a total geek. Pocket protectors are not necessary. The first time AJ ever raises his hand and class says "well, but isn't this also true..." and goes on to elaborate, people will know. Geekiness has its own behavioral calling cards. If you need a good chess book, I recommend Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess.

I have rhinestones and (fake) furs and yes, a tiara or two which you are welcome to borrow.

My nephew was 6 when he had to TEACH me chess. Imagine my shame.
