Forgive me, David, for bumping the post about your blog a little further down the page for an item of such triviality, but I’d like to announce that I just won a game of hearts with a score of 99, shooting the moon on the last “trick”. This is the second time this has ever happened to me, and my attempt to shoot the moon this last time was a particularly perilous and uncertain effort . . . The other three (computer) players scored 125, 114 and 104.

I don’t know why this kind of thing excites me, but it does. I can’t help myself. The last time I mentioned Hearts in this blog, the aforementioned (and belowmentioned) David took me to task in an appropriately hyperbolic manner for a purposely trivial post . . .

Nevertheless, it still kinda makes me feel bad that I’m pre-empting David for another Hearts report. So, in order to pretend to make amends for an imagined slight, I’ll tell you again — get your ass over to the the new Laissez Faire Books blog. Really.
