Good heavens, Scott! You just had surgery, and you're able to even get to the computer?
Everything OK?

Take care Scott! I'm sure Markjpcs will donate some of his minutes while you are out of commission.

Actually, the whole leader list is pretty amazing so far. A little compulsive, are we? Doug

YES!
40 minutes in under the wire for a total of 1,010!
My required festival piece is really coming along thanks to all this practice!

I, for one, can't believe how fast my pieces are coming along with all this practice...although I can't put in as much time as some of you! *bows, chants "i am not worthy"...*

This challenge has become a real motivator. I feel compelled to practice at least an hour a day in order to make the 1680 minutes that I committed to. Great idea! How mny others are maybe practicing a little more than they otherwise would have were it not for the challenge?

Do you think an IV and a catheter installed by the piano would be too much?? Perhaps if it were enclosed in a tasteful French polish ebony case...

LOL! While doing my 2 hour session this morning I asked one of my daughters to refill my coffee cup. I then jokingly asked if she could bring me the porta-potty!

I heard Beethoven's wife (must be a tale since he didn't have one) drew the line at a porta potty!
Compulsive? Who me? Just ask any member of my family and they will tell you that couldn't possible be so. Competitive? Yes! Haven't checked this morning to see what the standings are. Too many chores!
You will be 10 years older, ten years from now, no matter what you do - so go for it!

Here is my "self talk" every time I pull up the standings:
Not looking at the top 2.
Not counting the top 2.
Don't look up to the top of the list.
The top 2 don't count.
You're not like them.
You are exceeding your goal by 2 minutes.
Twelfth place is not bad.
Cindy is way ahead of me.
Twelfth place is not bad.
Support our troops!

I changed the calculation for the Daily Average.
It will not advance the number of days until after 1:00 pm. This way you will see a more accurate average. It used to turn over at midnight.
I need to make some additional changes to the interface and hope to get to them sometime this week.
