Marriage itself is a chess game. ---

This kind of sparks my interest again (the thread itself). I used to play non-stop when I was around 9-10 years old, I was beating out adults, and then of course being 10 years old all the other kids said I was a nerd so I stopped. Anyone on here remember the Brand Names Catalog? They used to have a store on Walden and Union where the new Guitar Center is? That’s where I got my first chest set, it was the crystal and glass set, actually really nice. I remember it being 54.99 at the time. How much is that in Obama dollars today? ---

Seems like a good price for an assortment of chests. ---
