This was a landslide round, with almost everyone voting for the longest definition, Mike's
changeling child.

The next deal goes to Mike Shefler with 10 natural points, and the real winner is Efrem Mallach with
5 natural points. I'm quite happy with a D1 for my inexpensive lodging house!

It is after the deadline, but I'm sorry I couldn't wait for Nancy's vote, or any other late-comers.
I'm off out for the evening shortly, so it's now or in the morning.
