It was also neat hanging around brkvw, who has gone out and done a lot of stuff, putting his ideas into practice. Like him, I have an endless stream of ideas, but they mostly spill through my fingers, unrealized. And when I think about the ones I've done, most didn't take very long.

After choiceful's early domination of our San Juan games, I've turned things around and won the last 7 in a row. I think I'm a little more effective at leveraging income into income early, leveraging income into points late, and recognizing when the shift occurs. I wish I could turn that strategic ability on my own life better, effecting leveraging my time into enjoyment and satisfaction.
