#LL107 is one of those seasons that turns the old maxim on its head: "Don't be sad that it happened; be happy that it's over."

Finished @learnedleague.com #LL107 with a 9(6), but it wasn't a forfeit win like my opening match.
I don't do much analysis of my defense and whatnot; I just know that I finished dead center in my main rundle. My goal each season is simply not to get relegated, so yay. Aggressively mediocre 😛

Mixed vegetables, chicken, a biscuit, four cookies, and a tiger picture, in front of today's Jeopardy episode.
#LearnedLeague #LL107 MD23 thread. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as I face the great @digitaldley.bsky.social in a match I absolutely have to win. Instead of all nine and a Dragon's Milk, plus three to carry to tomorrow, I only Factfuel on four COOKIES because I put 20th instead of 21st.
