|  |  | Hey BikerBrian, it's all about finding the right balance.
For my personal happiness, I need a balance of all those things that you mentioned, but I also need a little sliver that is something for myself.
That sliver has become less for me over the past year (as you can see from my drop from 2nd to 4th). I made the adjustment last year just as you are doing now.
When I look at what I do on a daily basis, there is still some time for the fun, competition, and community of BoD--sitting in the waiting room at the dentist office, waiting for my daughter to finish up her tennis lesson, sitting on the toilet (too much information I know), etc...
I have personally just adjusted my playing time and sure I have lost a couple of rankings, but I still am enjoying a game that I like to play and I think it contributes to my overall happiness. My happiness also impacts my relationship to work, wife, kids, church, etc... in a positive way.
I am certain that the times I do play, I would otherwise not be doing anything else that would be an accomplishment as you say. You just need to pick the right times for playing.
Anyway, sorry for the discourse. Take it for what it's worth. That is just my experience. If you do decide to hang up your Palm, it's been nice watching you move up the ranks and banter with Pickle. Certainly, make sure to be back to visit every so often.

|  |  | Hmm..I have basicly been quit for the last 3 months,becuase I got so completly anoyed at my phone for repeatedly losing my golds, and ranks. If brian is quitting, Maby I will get back into it,just so I can pass him one more time,lol
Sad to seeya go BB, For a final count how many times did we pass each other back and forth? it was like 11,or 12 I think,lol We battled it out hard when we climbed up through the top 50, until you hit top 10...and I...didnt...lol |
