Things are very busy here and I have been neglecting the blogs yet again. Sorry, I will try to do better but for at least the next few months but I don't see a change coming back to what used to be my normal life for some time yet. I will have zero readers by the time that happens - assuming it does happen.
But I want to let you know about this, because I LOVE "THE EIGHT" -- reading this book, written by Katherine Neville, back in the 1980s literally changed my life. In fact, I love this book SO much, I am seriously tempted to fly down to St. Louis and attend this book discussion at the World Chess Hall of Fame. I could use a get-away before visiting my Goddesschess cohort Isis in Las Vegas later in May. Dealing with delicate family matters and five younger siblings is, well - stressful.
It is scheduled for May 4, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. in the WCHOF building directly across from the building popularly called the St. Louis Chess Club, hosted by he Alternative Book Group.

Enjoy activities and snacks inspired by the book and the many creative avenues that reading takes us down!
