I think you're more competitive than Ryan and I are, or perhaps than the spirit of the game warrants. I agree with Ryan when he calls the 45-minute games 'exhausting' and I'd rather that there be lots of options so somebody wins, rather than fight it out trying to make me win. It's also fun to play more than one hand and just watch the different things that happen - imo. To each his own, iow! :) Ryan, you don't live anywhere near NV/CA do you? It'd be fun to play with you! <g> Cheryl --- "Elliott C.
