Edmond, Oklahoma in the US

28 in a few days now.

To challenge myself.

Not for the contest, but I'll make one after.  I'm keeping a journal.

Working on that...

No.  I guess I'm too slow.  I started seriously refining an ant right 
about the time that ended.

Sure, that's why I'm here.

> Feel Lucky - Will you be the winner?

I've already won.  I have a working ant and I'm having one heck of a 
good time.

Do I think I'll win the big tournament?  No, but I would be pretty 
surprised to be dead last too.  With the kind of competition this 
things draws, being anywhere near the middle would inflate my ego far 
too much!

> Staying Awake during nights?

Haven't yet.  I'm sleeping and eating normally.  I even stopped to play 
a game of Cribbage with my wife yesterday, when I needed a little 
break.  I guess there's always the chance I'll go for the all-nighter 
tonight, but honestly I doubt it would help much.  When I force myself, 
it seems to come slow and weak.  When I relax and take little breaks, 
it just flows.

And to you.
