We Are the Champions.. of the World

Little T Peterson hits the big time.
After thousands of Spider games over a decade or two (or somewhere between), I slid right into the #1 slot on a game last night (!).
Proof:

Further proof:


I’ve appeared numerous times on the Top 25 Leaderboard .. which is exciting enough. But this was the first time I’ve been at #1 and I have to say.. it really tickled me. Had it not been 2:00am, I would have woken Jim up.. I mean, it was big news! But I decided to wait ’til this morning. I walked into his office and asked if he wanted my autograph. LOL.
One of these days, I’ll go back through all my Top 25 screen shots (of course, right?) and see how close I’ve gotten to the #1 slot. But with 105,061 photos, that could take awhile.
Time was, my Spider habit was very concerning. A couple of times, I orchestrated my own intervention, removing the app from my phone because my addiction seemed a wee unhealthy. Now, I’m not so addicted. I play, but mostly sporadically. The NYT puzzles have largely supplanted Spider as my puzzle love interest and I’m very okay with that.

I’ve never heard of Spider.
Thanks for the warning! But I would like your autograph.
