my thoughts!!!!!!!!
first let me start by saying i love to play against other coaches one on one,and yes i get my behind kicked, but what i enjoy the most about one on one competition is the fellow shipping you are involved in when you are with that group of guys in or outside of the league you play in.but as a young child when i began playing the game it was mostly by myself so that's why i have this special place in my heart for solitaire play.the one special thing that solitaire play does for me is that you play by a set of rules that you yourself established,you play at the pace you want to,and this last thing is real important to me because guy as much as we enjoy playing in our league games or playing against that one coach you have always wanted to play there is always that one time where it gets heated and you argue about some form of the rules interpetation that has happened during your game.in solitaire who am i going to argue with i made the rules,so i am not going to argue with myself.and if i read where this one coach has this certain way he does something in his solitaire league,i can say you know that might work better for me in my solitaire league,so i change my way and use his way.you can't do that when playing in your local compettion league.that's why when i had that phone conversation with reg and he was telling me how he was going to do things in his solitaire league, it reminded me why i love solitaire so much. i'm sure there are a lot of coaches out there that play in leagues, but also so love to play solitare.norbert is a friend that i know is a awesome coach and plays in one of the best leagues in the country,but i did not know he loved solitare until i saw him at the miggle convention buying teams to get his solitaire league started and reading where he talked about starting his solitaire league.so by all means i am not saying i hate playing against other coaches,because i enjoy that type of competition also,but solitaire has a special place in my heart that will never die!!!!!!!!!!! so i know reg was not talking about starting up another association,he was just letting that love for solitaire come to the front,and i know there are many coaches that share that love also.
