Chess Champ identified by sniffles

On Friday, May 23, we had a reading party at our school. I set a goal for the students to reach, and everyone who did participated in a reading incentive party sponsored by the PTO (parent teacher organization). Those who made the goal got pizza, popcorn, candy, and a movie. Everyone took home some cash, and others took home an IPOD shuffle. For those who didn't make the reading incentive party, which was about half of the kids, had to sit in a study hall. Normally, we would make the study hall as miserable as possible. However, for this instance, we decided it wasn't fair to punish the kids just because they choose not to read. Instead, we let them listen to their IPOD's and we played games.
Because I had absolutely no interest in watching a scary PG13 (since when do we show PG 13 movies at a junior high building without sending notes home???), I volunteered to watch study hall. One of my students decided to play me in chess. I accepted the challenge (mostly because participating is better than just watching which can get boring). The game began and I found myself extremely confused at the logic behind his strategy. I am not the best chess player; I've only won about half the games I've ever played. At this point, I had no idea why he was moving pieces the way that he was moving. This kind of scared me because he is a smart kid and was very confident in his moves. I then thought that he must be really good, and has a massive plan of destruction just waiting for me.

I tried not to let it bother me, and kept playing with the best strategy I have (mostly just make sure my best pieces are not taken by a careless move.)
Before I knew it, I had captured all of his pieces besides his King, and I still had 2 rooks, 2 bishops, and a couple of pawns left. Despite this, I still was not in a position to put him in checkmate, and he was annoying enough to keep moving his King back and forth. After 3 additional moves, I exclaimed "check!" "Wait!" I proceeded to see his possible moves, and then yelled "BAM!!! CHECKMATE!" I jumped out of my chair and started the victory dance. All the kids in the room looked over at me and said, "she's as bad as one of the kids."
I take my chess victory with great pride, and I can now chalk up one more win for me! I'm above 50% now!

We did have a wonderful day at the temple today, and ran into some friends from our singles ward back at Utah State.

The second explanation to my title took place today at the temple. Bruce has recently been called as a veil worker at the St. Louis Temple. I went through my first session today alone since he has been called. Right before it was time to go through the veil, I sneezed 3 times. As I approached the veil, of course, I had the sniffles. I was able to identify the person on the other side of the veil as Bruce by his fingernails.
Before I said my name, I sniffed. After the session, I asked Bruce if he knew it was me on the other side before he actually saw me. His response, "I knew it was you when you sniffed right before you said your name."
I'm not sure how to take this. Either I am extremely predictable as to when I will sniff and when I won't, or I have a very distinct nose and accompanying sounds.

I should probably go with the latter.

May all of you possess a quality or sound that will help your spouse identify you before they can spot you is my wish to everyone.
