To all my opponents in the Drunk Chess Championships, I must alert you to prepare for my possible absence due to expected power outages from the pending hurricane. We are expecting power to be lost for several days at the very least. At this point there is no way to tell when things will be back to normal. The storm is supposed to hit us here in Maryland early Sunday morning. After that I will try to be back in touch as soon as possible. Thank You.

Good luck.  I hope it all goes well.  I'll play REO's "Ridin' the Storm Out" for you.

Stay safe my friend!

Good luck buddy, I hope you stocked up on beer!

Thanks for the well wishes my friends. The storm has passed and it was less severe in our area than expected. Many trees down but our power was restored quickly. So far it looks as though we are back to normal.
