I saw two IGS 6d* play today and the game looked terrible! The fighting was perhaps at 6d level (I don’t have a basis for comparison). The opening by black, however, seemed somewhat inane, though. The sgf will be linked when I have time to upload it.
Maybe I AM getting close to IGS shodan…. 
I’m probably overtired (ok, make that definitely). Puppies make you tired, babies make you exhausted 
In any case, Go is still a forerunner in my head - it just is relegated to time when I should be sleeping. Unfortunately, this does mean that I have little time to actually play the game (especially when I might be interrupted at just about any time). I do take Wednesday nights for the Southern New England Go Association, but limiting my go playing to one night a week is very bad!
In any case, I’m probably too tired to play well anyways… My Littlegolem.net games are doing ok, though - I make some poor decisions, but overall I think I’m playing well. (Even in the couple of games where my opponent has deviated from joseki early on). There are certain moves I need to think about more…
$$B

What is White’s move here?! It seems like it should be a simple solution, but B seems to get a lot in terms of moyo…
In the end I chose this:
$$B
$$ . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . 3 12 8 . . |

Wonder if this is the best… it certainly is messy
