This will be good to go back and study.
I think summer and winter are good times to study backgammon because both extremes of weather make me somewhat shut in.
But beautiful days . . . I am sure my mental (let alone spiritual) health is best served heeding their call, and going out.
Still, I forsee some long, cold nights with a warm, almost scalding hot, liquid and the study of some backgammon positions.
