I'm watching Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. Earlier tonight, I read the "Olympus" arc of Miracleman. One has death play a knight at chess; the other speculates that a nascent God and his nemesis played chess in their final, apocalyptic battle. I've always loved the stories where chess is played to determine the outcome of life and death situations. It seems so civilized.

Ever the quiet intellectual, I.
