About Me:

Hey!  I'm not accepting game challenges or really much of anything right now.  I'm hoping to get the number of games I'm in down to a reasonable number.  I actually feel like I'm not learning anything from them lately.  So I want to get the number way down so I can really focus on each game.  Once that happens I think I'm going to limit myself to the following in "online" chess: 1) 3+ days per move since there are days I'm not around and honestly those days freak me out over running out of time in the game; 2) no tournaments or matches where all the games are played simutaneously which is basically about getting my number of games down and when the games aren't all simultaneous the second one means something different to me when it starts then when they both are played at the same time.  Plus when they're simultaneous, I feel a weird need to make both moves in both games even if one game the move is obvious and the other I have to think about.

 

Also, check out either of my comedy teams on the "indie" NYC circuit: The Weird Ones, or Side Effects.  Also, I have a bit part in a great show that plays occassionally at The UCB Theater in NYC called "Death Wears Stilettos".  Check it out.
