Week 16 Observations

1. Luke Surges. Peterborough has had a steady run of above average weeks, and now he is tied for first place. While his achievements have been denigrated by some ("Put a monkey in a cage with a typewriter and eventually he will type out Macbeth," scoffed Deland when asked about Peterborough's success, prompting Luke to reply, "I am surprised Deland has even heard of Macbeth"), more generous members wish him well.

2. The Closest Race EVAH! With Wayne and Luke tied for first with 161 points and Ed and Jo right behind them at 160, this is the closest race ever. The Millie rests on this week's choices.

3. Red-Faced. The Commish is disappointed and embarrassed to have fallen behind Deland in points total. He has vowed to do everything possible to gain ascendancy on Deland "once and for all." He declined to explain what he meant by that.
