I don t like wrestling or boxing or these physical sports at all...but if the kids have fun with it ...why not...fun is the basis of everything...that applies also to chess..
be yourself
Wow!Mud wrestling. It was I have read very popular in some of the clubs in Berlin (pre 1933).TOM-TOM what about a sensational caberet act at the "Wine Haven" this Saturday.You and Kay having several rounds of M/R?It would bring the house down and give you both an ideal chance to get close-up and "personal". Kay could then sing "Ich bin von kopf bis fuss auf liebe eingestellt......" Che sensage!
To my own mind.. As a long ago 'high school', 'wrestling-mgr.'..{charged with the menial aspects, of 'team' support... I was cajoled, without knowing much about it}.. The 1 surprising oversight, {that continues, to this day}.. Is the complete lack of 'eye' protection, {an 'unintentional' 'eye gouge'?!}..
Whereas, for a more understandable reason.. The organizers & 'rule-setters' concern & protection, for a wrestler's 'ears'.. Makes the wearing, of {rubber}, 'ear protectors'.. quite common!
.. Anyway, even back then, {in the mid 1960s}.. The wrestler's vulnerability, to an 'eye' injury.. weighed on my mind ! -- True story.. Once, during a 'practice' round, with the 'adult' coach.. He was almost completely dominating 'moi' in a {wrestling}, session.. When my reflexive, though unintentional, thrust of my 'elbow'.. gave my 'team, head-coach' opponent ..a 'black-eye-shiner'! ..lol
HAHA! nice Flank! - my oldest is in wrestling. Captain of the squad. A very disciplined sport. 6 more days peeps. get that stogie pic up. even if you don't smoke. shoot, I don't remember the last time I had a cigar. maybe this pic was. Let's go peeps.
.. If, I looked like him.. {Gary Cooper}.. Rest assured, that, if I was 'single'.. {well, at least I'm that!}.. Then, logically.. 'chess' & 'posting'.. likely, wouldn't be, where-I'm-At ! ..{I would conceivably, be exhausted, though!} ..ha!

nowadays, if it's on your phone, you could make a move during a date! When you step away to tinkle. or when you are grocery shopping.
chess is life. life is chess. In both, the queen is the most powerful, yet if the king dies it's game over. Interesting eh?
My 2nd consecutive post, re. 'Not, being myself'! .. ie., The thought of consuming 'cricket' flour? ..Not, very likely.. if otherwise - An acknowledged, 'environmental' {potential}, game-changer!
Hopefully Tom and Kay have fully settled their differences.Maybe a fine romance is on the cards
Reports indicate that they are currently online for several hours a day planning a future.Several acquaintances have tweeted that all is well and that Kay has given them confirmation by replying "keek" and "just saying" What nostalgia! A scrutiny of Tom's account in this thread shows the long road before the happy ending.When the "Wine Haven " reopens both happy people will be there together 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂

the cigar was airbrushed away...

Ty, 'Tree' .. Speaking, of 'mindfulness' of any number of subject matters .. I just found this, under, 'girls' high school wrestling' {News- page}.. Figuring, that's More of an attention- getter'... than, the rather commonplace, 'boys' doing the same thing. ..D-u-h ?!
