That is better

After going 1-11 in my first 12 games on level 3, this is more like it.  I am generally trying to play at a single level until I reach the .500 mark.  A little short here, but no big deal.  Basically, I wanted a new challenge.  And honestly, most of those first 11 losses came from the clock expiring; I solved for this by simply extending the clock.

I've also kept busy rewriting some of my book.  I'm trying desperately to keep at this.  I mostly do this by finding little slices of time.  I find slices whereever I can.  Whereever sounds a lot like the word weather.  Speaking of weather, I've also been busy surviving a hurricane and cleaning up the results.  One last thing about hurricanes:  they are nothing compared to nurturing three sick kids. 

All in all pretty successful.

Castling

Either I've reached a plateau, or there is a mighty big step up from level 2 to level 3.

UPDATE: hey I won tonight, so I'm now like 2-11, so that is something.

Postage paid

So many posts brewing right now. One on the HS experience. One on populism. A secret one going for a future date. So much to do.

Also, earlier today, I thought I had something to post. But at this point, I've kinda forgotten what it was.

The Unnamed continues onward. Still got my attention. Still a good read.

I'm working on taxes, playing some chess.

Ah HA! I know what I wanted to post about, and now it seems silly to delete this entire post, so I'll bid you adieu until tomorrow morning.
