Having thrown some red meat with that last post, I guess it's time to leave town. So, tomorrow I'll be flying down to Atlanta to participate in the Gathering For Gardner Conference. Lucky me!

I'll be back on Sunday, so blogging will resume at that time. Sunday Chess Problem will be taking the week off.
