Milo and Liam have been going to chess club every Thursday after school. I have to say, I was skeptical that this was going to hold their interest, but to my surprise chess has become a big part of their lives. Milo entered a tournament a couple of weekends ago. He ended up in the top 10 (out of 48 in his age group). The boys challenge each other, their dad, their friends... I have never liked the game myself - too frustrating. But I hope they keep playing - it seems like a good balance to the soccer universe they live in.Thursday, December 3, 2009

I play chess, and have just started beating Ryan. I will have to play the boys in April on the shore:)
