This is my 200th post on my blog BecauseJimSays.
That’s twice as many as I had when I only had 100.
And if you’ve read all 200 – thank you.
If you haven’t – get to it !!!
When I pass “GO” in Monopoly, I get $200.
In this day and age, with inflation going crazy and gas getting higher and higher, I think Monopoly needs to adjust its once-around-the-board reward.
$315 sounds appropriate.
And have you SEEN the housing market lately?
Only $2000 with a hotel on Boardwalk?
PLEASE ….
I’m happy with the number 200.
Thrilled in fact.
200 posts, but STILL no snake like super powers.
I’ve all but given up on that manifesting.
I tried to give myself a pat on the back and I think I pulled something.
I don’t bend like I used to.
Took an ibuprofen and I’m good.
You can’t see it, but I just gave myself an approving and acknowledging nod.
We spend a whole lifetime chasing numbers.
200 has different meanings in different situations.
In baseball, the number 200 is both good and bad.
If you’re a pitcher, getting 200 wins means you are a super legitimate MLB pitcher.
But if you’re a batter, hitting .200, it’s time to rethink things.
In bowling, 200 is a legitimate score and you’ll probably win more beers than you pay for.
BUT — shoot 200 on a golf course?
Dude … hey, at least you had fun and got a good tour of ALL the course.
ALL.
THE.
COURSE.
In NASCAR, a 200-mile race is a warmup.
But carrying a full load of groceries from the car?
Making it 200 steps to the kitchen counter without the bags breaking is a personal victory.
I looked at Roman numerals for something meaningful, but in Roman numerals, 200 is just “CC.”
Seems a little anti-climactic.
Seriously, 199 is CXCIX.
Now THAT number looks impressive.
Nope.
That number falls just short of the unimpressive pedestrian “CC.”
I didn’t get emotional about post #137.
I didn’t write a separate blog post about post #64.
But post #200?
I like it.
Sometimes I try to give myself my own At-A-Boy.
At-A-Boy Jim.
Take a victory lap.
