This has been the lowest volume of posting I've had in a while - sorry for those of you who check here frequently for gaming-related posts.  I've been on the road way too much lately, and things will not be letting up for another month or so.  I do have a backlog of things to talk about, including:

• Jacob celebrated his 9th birthday last weekend, and I've got some pics from the party
• The Cubs.  On second thought, I don't want to talk about it.
• The fantastic work Mikael Sheikh has been doing on his Wallenstein implementation, which he should be making publicly available before too long.
• More Chess teaching information.  Classes start next week.
