Well, it looks like Paul Keating will have his opportunity to test the new
version of Cory as he tied with Wayne Scott for the lead with 6 points.
Since Paul leads Wayne in the Rolling Scores by 1 point, he will have the
deal.

Mike Shefler takes runner-up position with 5 points.

Despite the fact that EEM sounds as though it should have associations with
mothers and maternal relatives (the Hebrew 'eema', for instance), the true
definition that I gleaned from the OED was 9: "To spare time, to find an
opportunity." (OED 2nd Edition). I thought I had a D0 going before Russ
slipped in and gave me a D1.

So Paul, roll out Cory 4.4 and give it a good test.

Actually, I have Paul and Wayne tied in the rolling scores. But Wayne can
breathe a sigh of relief because Paul is ahead in the total scores.

Oh? I thought I was looking at the latest Rolling Scores list. Now I see
that they are tied in the four round total at 5 and 5 but Paul has 8 in the
five round total to Wayne's 7.

Eeek. I thought I might manage to avoid this. New word up in the next 12
hours.
