There are a few things, when I decided to start this, that I hoped to accomplish. A short list:
- Provide a portal for backgammon players living in the Philadelphia area.
Sometime soon (Summer '08?) I hope to be starting the Chestnut Hill Backgammon Club. It will be a fairly informal group that will be associated with the United States Backgammon League. You can get information about the USBL here: http://www.usbackgammon.org/ This page will ideally have a section devoted to the Club and will address meetings, tournaments, and lectures at, and for, the CHBC.
Anyone reading this who would be interested in additional information may send me an e-mail at nuttyhillbackgammon@yahoo.com. As the day approaches, and more details are finalized, I will update this section accordingly.
- Provide an outlet for my semi-random musings on the City of Philadelphia and what it's been like to be someone living here since my days at Drexel University in the late 90's.
- Have Fun.
At one point not long ago I assumed that would be plenty. However, as we all know, life is "subject to change". For me that happened a few weeks ago when I found out that I was going to be a father for the first time.
We're due in August (and yes, I know it takes guts to say "we" when I am fully aware of who will be doing most of the work for the next eight and a half months), and over the past few weeks I've slowly come to the decision that; perhaps for future book-writing purposes, it would be a good idea to chronicle the many changes our lives will go through in that short time. I will do my best to keep topics seperate, as backgammon and babies obviously do not mix (for most people, of course).
Read some of them, all of them, or skip me completely on your search across the hinterlands.
I'm writing them anyway.
