Call Me Chocolate Chip, 'Cause I'm Goin' Semi-Dark

I've decided to curb my chess activities somewhat until I complete my endgame circles. I still plan to play in online tourneys like the OCL and Teamchess 45 45, and I still plan to go to chess club (although it may not be as regularly as before). I will not play in any of the local non-club tourneys, though, until I've had a chance to complete the circles AND gone through the normal digestion process of the information (i.e., following the normal slump in playing performance after crossing a significant learning curve like completing the circles).
