Well, first I thought I'd tell you how things went for me in Boston.  

I finished in 10th place overall in the expert division, after having been 
tied for first after 7 games with, get this, the woman whom I was once in love
with. (She was there with her new boyfriend, and although I felt slightly
jealous, we still got along fine.)  She ended up in fourth place.

Before the last game on Saturday, Margaret introduced herself to me.  I found
out that Carolyn couldn't make it because she was involved in a small auto
accident Friday; she wasn't hurt, but she was shaken up and the car was in the
shop, so she couldn't get there (I called her later to tell her how sorry I
was to have missed her; wish my voice sounded better though (came down with
a touch of laryngitis Friday, and still don't sound too good).)  Turns out
Pamela was there, but missed both of us, even though she asked around for the
AMC group (well, Pamela, there's always next year).  She decided, instead of
going out to eat, to go to her house where her husband, Tony, would make a
bite to eat.  He wasn't there when we got there, but came home soon after.  I
made friends with her three cats (Lucy, a calico; Mr. Pym, a Himalayan (?);
and Sara, a black tabby).  Even got to watch Friday's episode before and after
the meal, which was Indonesian rice with ground beef and coconut with chili
paste on the side (the REALLY HOT kind you find in good Oriental restaurants).
There was also the currant cake with chocolate glaze.  Delicious.  She took
a couple of pictures of me for the book, one of me next to the tv smooching a
still shot of Erica (closest I'll ever get to her 8-{)).  Margaret and Tony
make SUCH a cute couple; I hope the two of you are happy forever.

Now about Monday's show:

Excellence defined.  Adam/Erica/Dimitri were terrific (especially Adam; the
"That woman was no lady, that was my wife" had me ROTF).  The great bit at 
the end where Natalie believes Trevor killed Will.  But best of all, a little
throwaway line Ceara said about her visits with Janet:

"I beat her at SCRABBLE, and she beats me at checkers."

I never thought I'd see my game get mentioned since it is a brand name (I 
thought there were laws about tv product placement).  I thought I heard a
vague reference to it from Brian, but this time it was blatant as can be, and
I know why.  

THANK YOU, WRITERS!!!  YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

I just hope most of the other posters also get mentioned, and have their
"moments of glory".  They deserve it too. (Not all at once, but every now
and then.)
