I was 6 games away from getting to .500, now I'm 12 games away and fed up.

Lost 6 games in a row, all because I could never, ever get any decent tiles. Each rack, 6 vowels and 1 consonant, or vice versa. Turn in your letters and get worse ones.

Extremely humbling, as it kind of confirms what I'd suspected...all my wins weren't necessarily because I was 100 points better than my opponent, or more strategically savvy, but all because I was getting good letters and my opponents were.

I'm definitely giving it up now until after August 11. I must study for the Spelling Bee!
