A List of 101
Lest you all think I'm super-egomaniacal, this list is part of a meme for the Alchera Project, which I am particularly fond of. The goal is to make a list of 100 useless facts about yourself. In essence, A 100 Things About Me. Well, I am changing it a little to be 101 Useless Facts About Me That You Would Have Known If You'd Have Read My Blog. How's that for a ridiculous title?

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, you cheat at canasta!!!!!! Now all I have to do is find out how you do it. I believe I know but I will have to observe it with much more diligence. I have know that I am such a good canasta player and it was so discouraging to lose to you and your wife, I feel vindicated......Oh what a happy day for me. I understand you got beat in trivial pursuit as well, Losing alittle bit of the edge are you K......
