mondo1948

I am 72 years old and learned to play chess in grade school when I was around 10 years old. Played during lunch at my place of business back in the 1970's and 1980's and hadn't played again until recently. I play because it keeps my mind sharp, even though I'm not the best player. My outdoor hobby is flying radio controlled airplanes, mostly models of World War II planes. Model railroading is my other indoor passion where I model the New Haven Railroad in HO Scale.  Every afternoon, I take my rescue dog Daisy for a walk along the beach here in Connecticut, where we look out at Long Island across Long Island Sound.
