Hi all --

I had hoped to report a D0 to you (my second) but Russ Heimerson
jumped out of the weeds with a half hour to go and gave me a D1.
Pretty good for me, though.

I thought the definition (#4) with it's "herbs sometimes included in
genus" would sound enough like a made-up def to get to D0, especially
with Johnny Barrs a DQ. Sigh. Almost.

Anyway, your new dealer is Tim Lodge, whose Moorish architecture
fooled four of you. Tony Abell is real winner with that feeling of
being ignored, except by three of you. Very widely scoring round.
Russ Heimerson gets three points, too, the cur.

So take it away Tim!. Far away.
