(Well, ideally I guess I'd go for BOTH, S3 AND iPad mini, right now, if it WERE the best in BOTH cases...But I "should" wait for my contract to roll over in January before pulling the trigger on the phone...too many advantages to waiting/disadvantages to jumping early, which leaves the Q of whether to go for the "mini" before then: I'd just rather handle one myself AND have some other folks use them for awhile before actually going there. I tend to "resist" being "sold" by reviews and "buzz", though of course I have "early adopter" friends who I usually count on to leap for the newest THING--especially when it comes to Apple, and they are all talking about this newest "smaller & cheaper" iPad as THE ITEM that will replace all other tablets (though my OWN research tells me that a thinner, slicker version will follow on the heels of this "intro-level" one by Spring--the current about-to-be-released version then dropped to a HIGHLY competitive price, significantly lower than the current intro-price of $329...I'm interested in that "NEXT gen" version, myself, tho', so I'm finding that probably the "smartest move" is to wait on both a few months, but I may just grab the S3 now, just "because"--which I guess is why "something" has me real interested in it, reading reviews, asking owner/users and playing with THEIRS whenever possible...GREAT voice software, but it is in its internet-use that will make/break it for me...As for Tapatalk and "limited to just a couple of lines of DRU's posts": Is that a "plus" or a "minus"?
Never mind answering THAT...)
On to the REALLY important stuff...Actually, though in most recent years when we've had but one loss at this late stage of the season I was as rabid in my listing and weighing of the various complexities and possible outcomes as ANYONE, I just have to throw my hands up on this year's version--and it ISN'T so much because it's all such a long shot, either. though I believe it IS (that hasn't stopped me, OR the Fates, in the past, after all)...
No, it's because of OUR weird vulnerability this time, the way our out-of-kilter, WAY-off-balance discrepancy between offense and defense may or may NOT be offset by that never-say-die "magic" and related "strange fate" that has kept us so-close-but-so-far in a year when "Undefeated" still looks like the only way, but "isn't over yet" either. "One game at a time" doesn't look to help us come the last game at Doak, but we HAVE generally "played up or down to" our competition this year, so who really knows for sure? The one thing I think we DO know is that "our own business" is the one thing we must take care of--and is the one thing I am completely baffled as to whether we'll DO.
I leave all that, then, to everyone else--at least until after "THAT game".
