Dear David Ritchie, I am unsure about what ought to be exciting:

chess is rather exciting, many who played claim to be so excited as to be
insomniacs for days only to mentally picture the board positions

for Scotland and have another who plays for Derby County. As you know, I
now play tennis. And yet none of this caused me to become a philosopher.
