Per,

My wife has been impressed with the showing of the Swedish Olympics riding team and the individuals on it. Apparently one of your riders just picked up individual silver. Nicely done.

Where did the dressage capabilities come from? I could understand the cross-country expertise, but running down fleeing enemies with a battleaxe doesn't lend itself well to dressage now, does it? [;)]
Oh, I don't know, I think trampling down fleeing enemies doing pirouettes and gallop changings would give quite a few demoralization points [:'(][:D]

Seriously, I have absolutely no clue as to why/how they've managed to become so good.

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: AW1Steve

Read the headlines this morning and spilled my coffee! MATRIX DIRECTOR HAS SEX CHANGE![X(] After I had some more coffee and finished the article , I discovered that they were discussing Matrix, the movies.[8|] I was wondering for a moment! [:D]

[:D]

BTW, are you telling us that "Wachowski Brothers" are no more and that one of them is now "women"? [X(]

That made my day. How is life treating you Steve?

Well Jeff, and yourself? [&:] Out of curiousity , what state are you in? I've a bunch of road trips planned this fall, and I have an ambition to buy as many Thread brothers as possible a drink. [:D]

BTW.. our neighbor told us she doesn't watch the Olympics because she doesn't know anyone in it? Well no s&%^, neither do I....but I still watch it.

Late afternoon to be correct. Otherwise, your analysis is correct.
How's your WiTP:AE PBEM working out? Where are you?
We haven't managed to get longer than to Dec 18 due to real life issues, vacations etc, but the last few moves we've started to hit the "one move each day" tempo again. Not much to say about the game situation apart from that I'm doing a "mini" Palembang Fortress, using only assets from Malaya and/or ABDA. He has tried to interrupt/disrupt this (of course) so we've had quite a few spirited surface combats in the region. Most of the C/D-cruisers, Boise plus both of the Brit CAs have gone down, but they've managed to bring three CA's with them, as well as wounding a fourth plus two BBs. I guess my opponent is a little on his heels, as this time I've switched tactics and is opposing him fiercely as far forward as possible everywhere in disregard of losses, as opposed to earlier games where I've mostly done "Sir Robin" variants. I always try to stay unpredictable [;)]


OH...the old. "Sir Robin grows teeth trick". [:D] Or as I perfer , "The Vampire Robin manever". [:D]

Sorry, even in college I never considered drinking a competitive sport. I enjoy alcohol in the same manner I enjoy all food.....I savor the taste and experince. If you think I challeged you to a drinking contest , then let me resign right now. I offerred to buy you a drink or two, but I'll pass on the competitive aspects. [:)]
