First of all I would want to say a big thank you to all those who commented on my previous BIG NEWS blog. If you don't know yet I'm officially a 4th Kup / Blue Belt in taekwondo, so I'll keep you updated with how I'm doing for my next belt.

In the chess world I'm over the 1200 marker and I'm hoping to be 1250 around christmas time (give or take a few days).

I'm also going to find out at the end of the month if I'm having a niece or nephew, so I'll be an uncle again. Just keep reading to find out what it is in November.

Also I would like to say happy birthday to all those with a October or early November birthday, and I cannot believe that christmas is very close now.

So if you have anything to comment on please do so, if you want I'll do another music blog. Good luck in your chess games also.

Zhane.
