Well that would be CCT8, and I have given it some thought recently.

In about a month I hope to get started on CCT Blitz... if there is still enough
interest for it.

The next CCT wouldn't be due until about Jan-Feb 2006.

Someone else emailed me about a week about trying to get the treadmill started.

LOL! Just because everything is in a bit of termoil right now doesn't mean I
stop thinking. In fact I think more about what I would like to do instead of
what I _should_ be doing.

In another thread here someone took a shot at me about a tournament I was
planning for here in Canada. While sitting in hospitals and waiting rooms for
the greater part of 6 weeks, I have been able to plan and arrange certain
aspects of that tournament.

I do know one thing for sure already though. When it happens, it will be held in
Banff, Alberta, Canada.

The original plan was to have it held in Jasper, Alberta, Canada, but a deal
with Canadian Pacific Hotels just wasn't going to get done having it at the
Jasper Park Lodge. (http://www.fairmont.com/jasper/)

There is a deal in the works for a hotel in Banff that I will be touching base
with on Wednesday.

While some like you think I did a good job, there are many that don't quite
agree. :)

The Crafty site will be up again shortly as a subdomain to my
http://www.cctchess.com site.

It will be pretty much the same thing as before, and yes there were some new
uploads.
