More tournamentiana.

First: I was so happy to see mr_do42 make the A finals. I take minimal partial credit for having encouraged him his first couple of years. :)

Second: The Trogdor reference ("noted burninator") in my last post had to do with a prank we pulled on rpipuzzleguy. He's worn the same Trogdor shirt every year that he's won, so about a dozen of us showed up with Trogdor shirts on Sunday morning. ennirol has the proof.

Third: Eric Berlin's Friday evening extravaganza was a joy to solve. I recommend it. He's selling copies for $1.99 -- more than worth the price, in my estimation.

Fourth: Why the heck didn't I just call in sick this morning?

Because no one would believe you were really sick and not just tired? *HUG* My dad got very very very sick right after he married my mom. His co-workers were like "Suuuuuure, you're 'sick'..." :)

Glad you had fun this weekend. Feel better soon, dear! *HUGHUGHUG*

If I were you, I'd take half a sick day now.

I like the new userpic!

Aww, thanks Kath! You had a great run there, and once fate decides to give you the right bunch of puzzles, you're going to burninate that tournament ;).

I give you credit for helping to bring me into all this, despite my certainty that I really didn't know what the heck I was doing there...

Oh, and I hereby second your userpic. Wear the Puzzle Geek badge proudly!

Time for some early sleep... that Monday back at work post-tournament was an absolute beast. Felt like I was stepped on by a 50-foot Klahn.

I did stay home Monday -- vacation day -- but felt worse as the day progressed. Since no one else is posting about abdominal issues, I'll guess that if I got food poisoning, it was the Satay beef at last night's local Asian dinner and not the salad at the Marriott lunch. (I only ate the wing joint on the chicken breast as I don't trust pinkish chicken, and still am sick. Ugh.)
