Chess Match
Today after work i played chess with one of my coworkers. He had his own chess board, and he was somewhat good at chess. Since I've been practicing with Kelly, I've learned a few things and use those things to just barely beat him. I was very excited because he was an excellent player.

In the beginning...
of the week, Kelly and I went to work. After work, Kelly and I are taking a class about religion. It's a very interesting class because it's not biased (to our knowledge) and does not try to change the way we already think. It's interesting because it's a 10 month class meeting once a week and tries to cover all aspects of the religion. At first it focused on a historical view on Judaism, and now it's more focusing on Judaism today and Judaism in America.
Last weeks topic was Antisemitism and it spilled over to this week where we talked about the Holocaust. The rabbi, who is about our age, talked about what some authors have written about it. He said that this event was very different from any other type of murder in history. In the holocaust, the Germans not only wanted to kill all the Jewish people, but they specifically wanted them to suffer. In history, typically one group would just try to kill their enemy's as quick as possible. In this event, the camps were designed for the Nazi's to "kill the Jewish people's minds and souls before they killed their bodies." It's also very interesting hearing some of the reactions which people have written about their new views on religion after knowing what when on in the camps after the holocaust.

My Brother Owes Me A Dollar
Hi! Welcome to the continuation of our blog. Brian bet me a dollar that the Colts would lose the AFC championship game. They were down 21-3 in the first quarter, and ended up winning the game 38-34. Woo Hoo!
Also, Kelly and I are having a SuperBowl party, so let us know if you'd like to come. :) Everyone's invited.
