Whew - HELL YEAH!

Man, I just killed my minesweeper expert record out of no where. Went from 81 to 71. I was not recording though. I now have an even 100 total. My goal is to break 100, and now it seems extremely realistic :smile: When I saw the score I seriously dropped my headphones off my head and rose out of my seat with both of my hands in the air :smile:

I plan on retiring either when I break 100 or when the next semester starts, whichever comes first :smile:
 
Because of your previous posts on minesweeper. I have been lured into the secret life of a closet minesweeper. I understand your joy...^5's
