Thanks for the kind words. I've never understood why but for some strange reason unless it's a family member or VERY VERY close friend we handicappers tend to sting when someone else wins. I'm guilty of that myself. I hate that I feel that way. But it does happen. Maybe it's because tackling the windows is such a competitive thing. I don't think it says anything bad about you.

I hope everyone wins. Even people I don’t like. I can’t root against anyone.

I don't mean rooting against anyone.

I don't do that.

It's more the jealousy you spoke of.

I feel it too sometimes.

I wouldn't kick yourself too much for that.
