Another round is in the books just in time. Our new dealer is Tim Lodge, whose peat drying platform
earned a natural 6 .

There were 3 players in coveted second place with 4 points each: Paul Keating, Nancy Shepherdson and Russ Heimerson.

The true definition also tied for second place, number 18: "_Scots_ Trouble; anxiety." (American Heritage Dictionary, 4th Edition)..

I see Bill even earned a point to go with his two dealer points from the dealer's faulty editiing. So with that, take it away Tim while my lady wife and I head over to the Big City to see Don Giovanni at City Opera and pig out on excellent Mexican fare near Lincoln Center.

I will be offline from Monday (4/10) a.m. until Tuesday night or Wednesday, 4/18 or 19. I'll shoot a definition over to Tim if he posts a word soon . . . but probably won't be voting. I don't expect to have much, if any, computer access while away.
