Gack. So prompt with your deadlines. I should pay more attention. No doubt
I would have received no votes for my tardy def.

I'll play 10 and 17.

Would that 18 were true. Kudos to the author of such a necessary def.

But I will vote for 8 and 19.

When I'm in doubt, I have to vote for the Scots, and virtually every Scot
I've met in Scotland or Nova Scotia or elsewhere is exactly defined by #9,
it gets a vote. I am a great admirer of Spenser the author and Spenser to
private eye, so my other vote goes to #6.

6 and 9, please.

12 and 13 because they're so delicious (well, the beer _under_ the
foam is delicious.) I've never tasted a loose-page-square-up frame.

I think I'll pass on the various seas of froth and deserts of oatmeal and vote
for 14 and 19.

Hmph ... very odd. I didn't receive the def list in email and when I went
to Google mail, I found three of Judy's messages in the Spam folder,
including the def list. Oh well,

I'll cast my votes for the sevens - 7 and 17.
