Chess Tournament

The Seattle area enjoyed a rare sunny day on Saturday, so what better way to spend it than at a chess tournament.

Children at long tables playing chess in a school gym, many in team shirts.

Thinking I would have more time to catch up on stuff, I brought my laptop, but there were too many interesting people there and I ended up talking the whole time with people like Janet Frohmayer, who told me more about her blog, and Ken Glass (the emcee) and several parents who are interested in improving the math curriculum.   So much to post, so little time...  There's a lot happening on Mercer Island, and I wish we could get a whole community of blog posters so we can share the load of getting more people involved.
