Cross Country, Chess and ADHD.....

Fall is fast approaching and that means cross country. Every fall for the past eight years I have acted as the assistant coach for the local high school boys cross country team. We go to camp in August to run, play all variety of competitive games, and generally get to know one another. This year I played a couple of games of chess while at camp. As I do often, I got enthused and have been spending many hours playing chess against the Shredder Classic Demo I got off the internet. Many times I latch on to a new activity only to have my interest wane as something new comes along to take it's place. For example, I have a controller for my flight simulator gathering dust in my closet. I chalk this up to undiagnosed ADHD. We'll see how it goes.
