Fifteen years in the old farmhouse on the corner, raising kids, growing gardens, keeping chickens. Mom by day, casino dealer by night. Most of Leelanau goes by my house or sits at my poker table; the rest call or stop by for advice or chat. This is what the world looks like from where I am........
This is another "Table of Contents" page, my way to make Blogger work for my very scattered mind.
I have been a 4-H chess leader since Shelagh (now a freshman in college) was in 3rd grade. I started as a chess leader because I was needed, not because I was all that good at chess. Still, my background as a casino dealer gave me insight into how and why people play games and how to run fair games.
A post in February 2005 was intended as my "how-to" for chess leaders.
In March I posted a small piece about the progress that my K-3 group had made over the winter.
