Round 8

Night. Things have finally calmed down, though I'm still behind on annotated game postings and other merriment.

The hallelujah chorus is upon us. Earlier it was a Kenny G esque melody irking. Now, it's some sort of bizarro Valentine's Day gospel shindig. Loud, loud music emanating from nextdoor. At least it's not going on in the morning, knock on wood.

"Who do I complain to if I see Scrabble tiles in my sleep?" was one question posted from a player as he left the night event. I don't know. What I do know is we have 3 players still with 4 wins in this Nite Bird. Registration jumped from 24 to a pleasant surprise of 30, giving the field just a bit more bite to it. Tomorrow night, Chad Harris will play Mike Early, and Joey, the other 4-0, will go up against Eric Harshbarger.
