Experiences 37-40


Continuing on with the reduced approach to the blog, this time on the category of experiences:


37: Playing in the Women's Tournament of the World Series of Poker: Ok, I got thumped, but it was a fantastic experience and an enormous amount of fun!

38: Ranked in the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. While I was not ranked super high, it was fun to have the experience of playing in Will Shortz's backyard, if only for a short time.

39: 1,000 miles in a weekend. We just got back from a car trip from Chicago to Cleveland to Athens. Great to see everyone and to celebrate Kate's birthday with our Athens friends.

40: Saving the best for last: NO MORE CANCER! We just found out yesterday that I am cancer free! It kind of feels like I have been holding my breath all year and can finally exhale! Yahoo!!
[41: Racing in my first triathlon in July -- see picture above]
[42: Cubs win the world series in October -- they're 20 games above 500 right now!]
