I can announce it now, I’ve been holding it in for a while, Miss Gremlin is going to Chess Nationals in Dallas next month. She was selected along with 9 other students from her school to compete against children from around the country. It’s a pretty big deal.
We’ve had a huge roller coaster of a week and weekend. If you know us at all, you know that normal shit just doesn’t happen here. We have things going on that few people would believe. Sometimes they come off, sometimes they don’t but it’s all kinds of crazy pretty often.
