On the Downhill Slide

I play the on-line Set puzzle nearly every day.  In most areas of my life I have proudly held steady at the level of mediocrity but when it comes to my daily Set puzzle times, I can brag.

After two months at 39 seconds, a plateau that I was plenty pleased about, on May 18 I finished the daily puzzle in 34 seconds.  I hasten to note that this accomplishment was not the result of any performance enhancing substances or illegal doping.  This here is the outcome of consistent training and raw ability.

And it likely reflects the high point of my 42 years on this earth.  It's all downhill from here.
