Two players are tied for first place in points with 5 each. But Chris Carson's
all natural points give him the deal, leaving John Barrs as the real winner.
The dictionary definition was #4, the Argentine tree, which I thought sounded
very much like one of the indifferent definitions one of us might come up with
when pressed for time. Dodi Schultz gets 2 dealer points for my mangling of
her definition (it was supposed to be "An industrial perfume...").

Take it away, Chris!

What??? Wait there must be a mistake ... No? Winning the deal with a measly 5 points?

Ok. I'm in the midst of some chaos and the flash drive with my Dixonary files got left at the office. Urk!

So bear with me and I'll try to get a word posted later today but it may take until tomorrow since I'm away from home today. Typical Deal winning circumstance - punishment for not keeping close tabs on the scoring.
