   Yes, it's me again--that one blogger who won't go away 'cause, like a lost puppy dog stranded 2,000 miles from his house, manages to keep finding his way back home. Not only is "Neither Here nor There" a great book by Bill Bryson, it also reflects how many things are going on right now in my life and honestly, chess hasn't been one of them for a while. So, I'm here, but not really here--not until I get more involved in chess again, and even then, my involvement will be less in comparison to what it previously was, simply because I need to keep things balanced in my life.

   My long-standing problems with insomnia have made it impossible to commit to anything specific anymore, so things have to happen when I'm able. What's unfortunate is that I've missed a lot of chess programming I was really looking forward to because the times I finally sleep are usually during broadcasts. What's good is I've developed a lot of interests over these months, which are keeping me pretty stable (some of you are familiar with my unstable history), so I don't want to have one thing (whether it's chess or anything else) run over everything else like an out-of-control steamroller. What is will be and nothing more. Smile But--I will keep my eyes open for chess news and events and will do the occasional Chess.com/TV Group recap or schedule posting, but I won't be making them novel-length anymore.

   So this blog is pretty much a little explanation and not much more. Thanks for humoring me and have a good weekend everyone. Stay well, be happy and enjoy.

   Co-creator, along my with girlfriend RookedonChess, of the Official Chess.comTV Group, back in November of 2010 with the support of Chess.com, namely IM David Pruess and IM Danny Rensch. The group has since boiled over the 6000 member mark and is growing more and more every day and new shows and events are constantly being added to the arsenal. There's always something happening in the group. Don't miss out.

   I am now once again doing my chess journalism on Chess.com, following news, events, announcements, etc. I'm not going to let a couple of idiotic people chase me away from what I love to do. If I get any bad comments, they will be deleted right away.
