Lovely! My godfather taught me backgammon, and i spent some time in the costa brava (im guessing that's where xadac is?) in the winter, occasionally with ailing old people. So very evocative for me. And all very personal for you too -- so thanks for sharing!

You guess right. The clues are no doubt there for anyone who wants to pin it down more precisely.

It *is* personal of course, and I hesitated a bit about putting it out in the world… something about exploiting real people’s pain… but I hope it is more a tribute/monument to the Continuo King/El Capitano than an exploitation.
