All is Quiet until I start an online game!@#%

The wife and dog are asleep! I can play a 10 minute game! Reaching a key position and a noise occurs outside. Dog "BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK" Wife "What the hell is going on?" Me after dropping a Bishop "I don't know I'm trying to get in a game". Just the wind. Never mind. I resign. This is why I can't play anything but correspondence. !@#% Anyone else deal with this?

yes. thats one reason i play daily. usually when i miss something i'd like to blame distraction, but its usually just because i suck. wife hears me cuss after a bad move and asks why i even play if it makes me mad. i think thats the whole reason i play!

My daughter is eight and now she knows the difference between a rated game and a bot game. If she needs my attention while I'm playing, she'll first ask who I'm playing.
