Fried Liver Attack Ducky



Because I'm in school every day from 8-4 and Colton works every day from 11p-7a we rarely get to see each other as much as we would like. By the time I make it home he is usually in bed asleep and I generally study a bit and then join him. Because of this Colton leaves little notes for me so that we can still communicate. I in turn leave him return notes taped to the steering wheel when I leave him the car in the morning before car pooling to school with my friend Kat or slip one under his pillow before I leave at 5:30 in the morning for clinicals while he is still asleep on his days off.

When I got home the other day I received one of my favorite notes from the "Colton post" ever! It was a little note that said that he had beaten "Fritz" (the chess computer) while playing with one of his duckies (he collects them) as the queen! He was VERY happy about this and went on to explain that he had won with the "Fried Liver" attack (I don't understand it very well or I would explain) and left the chess board just as it was when he put Fritz in check mate so that I could come home and see it! The board stayed like that for 2 days until I had a day off and we had the time for him to explain the game to me play by play. And this is one of the reasons that I so dearly love my Colton.
