OBSESSIONS OF MEN

currently, the men in our household

are obsessed with chess.

all 3 of them.

here we have wyatt and boon

battling it out

while hudson plays a chess app

on wyatt's phone.

boon is in chess club at school.

the boys often play each other

in the mornings before school.

there are always games on the weekends,

and a lot of challenging the computer

and each other

with the phone app.

books are checked out of the library

to read up on rules, moves and

winning strategies

it's a chess fest!

the two younger boys have

another obsession.

one that's been around for years and years,

but they are just now becoming acquainted...

the world of pokemon.

trading cards,

playing the game,

and having a blastola

buying new decks, and

browsing through them

over and over and over,

discussing the merits of each character.

as i am no stranger to obsessions,

i welcome these new family interests

and wish the men in my life all the best

as they immerse themselves in the sheer delight

of obsessive geekery.

it's a good place to be.
