This is becoming old hat for you Dan but it is a state web site that the members can't compensate you enough for . Thank you for all the time you dedicate to maintaining the site .
The awards list page has links to several first rate stories . My favorite would be the Amsterdam Pub Crawl .
Wouldn't it be nice if the Portland Chess Club could do something similar using coffee houses along with the establishments serving alcohol .
