LOL, no my writing and typing skills have always been poor. I had so so difficulty in math. But my best friend was a math genious and even when a professor could barely speak English my best friend would explain simply. But my friend could not wire a flashlight and that's where I was always A++++. My best friend went to one class a week in math and engineering courses just to see where the prof was going. He aced every test.

We started playing chess, at first we went 50/ 50
wins and losses. Then as we passed into the 15 plus games I started winning every game until for the next 15 or so and then we did not play anymore. I always found that fact interesting. Can't explain it. I marveled at my friends genius in math and was amazed I could not explain simple ideas of using instruments to measure parameters.
