Goal I'm almost ashamed to admit.

I started to write a post with that title, but realized I was too ashamed to admit it.

de Sade said that there was a "certain voluptuousness in cruelty." Maybe that's the tease gort mentioned!

Let's induce Ann to come clean by hypothesizing what she MIGHT be ashamed of having as a goal:

My suggestion:

She is going to break the habit of kissing the photo of Glenn Reynolds on the computer screen every night before retiring to bed.

I'm almost sure to reach the goal soon and I'll have a new post when I do saying "goal reached."

If I reveal it before I reach it, people could help me reach it, but I don't want extra help. That would impair the value of reaching it.
