For some unknown reason, today I remembered an event from before Ruth and I married. We would play chess occasionally in those days. I always won. But one time Ruth had me in a trap, yet let me win.
Today I asked her, "Why did you let me win?" She said, "You were whining about what an embarrassment it would be if you had to tell your friends a girl beat you at chess."
As she told me this, I apologized profusely. What a dunce I was. My consolation is, Ruth wasn't going to lose me over my stupidity. Thank You, Lord.
By the way, Ruth and I have not played a game of chess in forty years.
