The weekend

Hello all,

Sorry for not keeping everyone up to date. The weekend was busy however and rather entertaining in parts.

For instance I went to my first caucus as a Republican under duress who put his support behind McCain for the first time. The only problem was my precinct were a bunch of Huckabites. I don't have a problem with that since I think he would do a good job as well, I just wanted us as the GOP to get to a national platform as quickly as possible.

On other news... my wife was working on her history and I did a few research bits for her as her schedule is really busy with work. She did get alot of stuff accomplished and I'm pretty proud of her.

As for the rest of the weekend, I spent the time reading and working on my opening chess studies for the next tournament. I'm a bit more prepared this time around but I still have a lot of work to do on the Caro Kann; especially the Advanced Variation. That is a real tough nut to crack with losing the tempo on the third move, but it does work if you pay attention. I guess that is why I signed up for another correspondence section.

The rest of the time was spent watching a movie and just being lazy. And trust me with keeping busy from my wife... I treasured the little time I had.
