Silly achievements
Ever done something of which you're rather proud which really has no meaning in every day life? I have DOZENS of those.I'd love to say I'd found the cure for cancer, or figured out how to end global warming (a topic that makes me VERY nervous), or created a Utopian society that ends rape, murder, theft and bad language. Unfortunately, I haven't done any of those things.
However, I did manage, this past Sunday, to win a "Lucky Dollar" online No-Limit Texas Hold'Em tournament. The buy-in was a mere $1.10. In a field of 825 total entrants, I finished in 1st place, winning $240, thereby managing to turn a profit of $238.90. I've been on a bouncy high ever since. I mean, I made a final table! Not only that, but I beat everybody else on it, not to mention just plain everybody else!
Imagine what I could have done with the four-plus hours it took to win that tournament if I'd REALLY put my mind to something...

My achievement of the day: I took a guided tour of the US Capitol building...with an infant! We saw John Kerry from about 30 ft. away.
