I lose my home in fire

On February 7, 2009, I lost my home and all possessions in the raging fires at Kinglake, in Victoria Australia.

Until I can recover and rebuild I will not be making any posts.

I lost two lovely cats (a Burmese and a Russian Blue). Also gone are all my chess games except a few I had on this blog. All my chess books are gone, all other books (I had over a 1000, many rare editions, and magazines), personal photos, records, CDs, videos and DVDs and most of my writing. But my wife and I will recover. We are lucky we have friends and family. Insurance will also help us rebuild.

Regards until lext posting.
