I'm going to exercise the early closing rule since all 16 posters have
voted and I've got some things to do here. It's been a terrific weekend
so far in New Jersey. I managed the first round of golf for the season
yesterday and found there wasn't too much rust accumulated over the long
winter. Today my wife and I are off to Princeton to browse the exhibit at
the art museum.

The winner of round 2201 and new dealer is Tim Lodge, whose definition "In
sanctuary; sheltered." earned a natural 5 .

Judy Madnick takes coveted second place with 4 points. And there were 6
players in runner-up position with 3 points: John Barrs, Dave Cunningham,
Steve Graham, Keith Hale, Mike Shefler and Daniel Widdis.

The true definition was 12:
