On a visit to the homestead, my brother and I sat in the living room playing Wii curling for what seemed like hours. I mentioned to him that a big part of curling involved calling the right strategy. I gave him the old line that curling was "like chess, but on ice." Characteristically, he came back with a wise-ass comment:
Every sport tries to bill itself as being like chess. [Imitating a hayseed] "It's like chess, but with big tires and a mud bog!!!"
Okay, point taken, James.
But what about
letterpress?

Hopefully you and your brother will be together for the Holidays. Then we can hear more of your collective profundity. Your parents must be proud of both of you.
