20/20
Revised goals for the DO:
1. Play at least five of the top 20.
2. Finish in the top 40.
People who I think have an excellent chance of finishing in the top 20 (who are not seeded in the top 20):
1. Mike Thelen (I might be a little biased here)
2. Thomas Conrad (with all the intense studying under his belt)
3. Chris Lipe (I've been hearing a lot of good things about his play. That and he draws amusing cartoons).
I recently decided to limit my daily study load to 300 words to review and 100 new 8's to add. I usually finish this load in about an hour, an hour and a half tops. So I'm still on track to "learn" all the 8's for this year and at the same time I don't have Scrabble dominating my life. I think I found the right balance for me.
To all my LJ friends, I hope we get a chance to play a game or two in Dallas, inside or outside the tournament.
