Of course, the next time we played cards I was way over confident, drank too much beer and lost all my money in the first half. Ha!
Next time I’ll drink lite like the others…
Computer consulting?
I did three hours work the other day for some friends from church.
I looked through their hard drive partitions to make sure that all their data was being backed up to their new external hard drive. I fixed a few annoying mis-configurations that had crept into their Windows OS and I advised them on specs for a new system.
And yes, that took just over three hours.
I’m not sure I can make a living out of this.
Is beating your friends fun?
So now I’m wracked with remorse.
Months of preparation (playing the game on my phone till I was so familiar with the cards that I could play the game watching the players) and study (reading rules and playing advice on the internet) so I could beat my friends in what was supposed to be a friendly game of cards.
And it worked. I beat them.
I guess the next stage in card-playing development is not just to be able to play the game well, but to be able to play it for fun.
