Our Mississippi guy, Barron, was a no-show so we didn't do as well as we might have hoped for. We bled in a lot of areas & ended up *WAAAAY down* on the list. No up to our usual standards. Our Canadian friends seemed to do much better than we did. Congratulations to all on the winning end of the list. We did much better at Six. We saw ourselves at 3rd and would have done better if we could have remembered the name of the movie that was remade as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Congratulations to CORVUS & LILJOL. Of course we expected to see you up there! As MEGUMI says, Happy NTNing. And I hope they get the site up again soon! Betty PT's Pub LV, NV |
