To be sure.  And many of the things I do, paid or unpaid, I enjoy as I do 
them.  But I usually want to do my best.

And I've learned sometimes not to, to revel in a sloppiness.

Or to change the goal.  Is a game of Scrabble an intellectual challenge, a 
jousting of minds, or a bonding with loved ones?  Is a move to be judged by 
its score or by how cool the word you played is?
