Woo! And you're logging German? What happens if you are learning German while *on* a run? Counts for both running and German? Or will there be a separate category of Ger-running? Also great your leg is healing on up, keep abiding by those doctor's orders!

Wow, it would be cool to make that list. (Are you forgetting Ganon?)

My main intent behind logging my German is both to motivate me to spend more time doing it and to record about how much time I'm spending on it. A useful milestone would be spending 500 hours on German before I go to Europe in the summer.

My nemeses are all friendly adversaries who have aptitudes I respect. While I haven't met mighty Shtanko, and he is my foe on the ARDF course, I hope that we might be friends. Ganon is just a monster; I don't think he deserves the title of my nemesis.

My long list of nemeses is one consequence of my thirst for competition; it's much easier to get motivated when you have a competitive target. I made this list after I named Sam my (unattainable) target for the long Ski-O on Sunday; Ali overheard and seemed to feel left out.

I, for one, completely understand being left off of the nemeses list. You couldn't possibly beat me at anything important, and why set unreasonable goals?

I am honored to be on the list of nemeses.

And I am honored to be listed before Boris as a boggle nemesis.

Purely alphabetical, I'm sure.

I am pretty sure he only wrote Alex and Boris because he forgot how to spell rosstopher ( ironic considering his boggle aspirations) :)

I would love to see someone find "ROSSTOPHER" in a set of Boggle cubes.
