The day off work today, so naturally Henry and I decided to indulge in our favourite pastime, fetching rocks. It's an ingenious game with intricate and complicated rules. Indeed, the meticulousness and vigour with which Henry will collect two handfuls of rocks, shift them across to another part of the backyard, then sagely wait and consider his next move. The next move most likely involves gathering more rocks, but most likely of a different number.
Now, the full game itself is beyond my comprehension, but in his intensity, thoughtfulness and attention to detail, Henry reminds me of a young Garry Kasparov, Joe Louis or Don Bradman.
