Chess and the Ukelele

     What do chess and the ukelele have in common? Nothing. But, when you are a chess player long past his prime, assuming he ever had a “prime,” and he gets a ukelele for Christmas, then, when chess gets boring, he learns to play it. So, that's what I'm doing...learning to play the thing which is turning out to be more complicated than I imagined! What with having big thumbs and discombobulated fingers, just learning to strum it is requiring considerable practice. I hope to play this like someday…
