Chess game

My excuse for the major tactical blunder is that after the break dance competition started on the 2nd floor, I totally lost my focus because I could hear the music loud and clear.   Other than that, I noticed as I entered the moves into the computer that the Houdini chess engine was mostly in agreement with my other moves and many of White's moves as well.  Despite major tactical blunders on both sides, this proved to be a wild and interesting game.
