Backgammon Night

So, when I comes around to Wednesday or Thursday night and I have written 1.5 to 2 papers for the week, and look forward to beginning a few more, I try to get out of my room. Jenny and I go to the Royal Oak, basically in our backyard, have a beer, and play backgammon. As you can see I am learning the skills. We started out with checkers but everyone knows that is childs play. And everyone knows backgammon is the grown up way to move pieces around a board, especially if you are holding a beer. Or in my case a latte. But it is a pub, so technically I should have a beer and usually do. I won my first game tonight! Yes. But all in all I lost the two out of three... should have just stuck with my winning and ran! This is my wonderful friend Jenny. She lives downstairs and is doing research in Genetics.... she will be done with a DPhil in a year and a half and then will go on to Med School... genius. And a heck of a good backgammon player.
