Dreams and expectations - ya gotta love 'em.  This weekend I have come to the wall - the wall of - ya know, I am never going to succeed at Halo.  We have played with my boys again and again - and the result is the same.  I lose every time.  Every stinkin' time!  So.  I have decided to continue to play - but my goal is to kill them half as many times as they kill me.  If I can get 50% that's still a pass!  Now I am thinking that as I head towards other numbers in age that I will have to continually add things to this kind of list... and others that will just be straight done - like I AM shorter than Nick now and I can't ever catch up.  Oh - by the way - just played some Halo and ALMOST beat Nick - it was 25 - 24.  Wow.  A life of dwindling expectations... that's me.
