I made the top five, which is a lot better than I did in the regular CDP.

169

Sixteenth! Woohoo!

170

A top 5 (3rd). I actually expected more mayhem among the Russian criminal elements.

171

Tied for 17th!

172

Just found out that Les McCann passed on December 29 at 88 so that’s 12 more points for me which bumps me up to tie for #4 with Happy Lendervedder.Les McCann wikipedia

Will have to play my Swiss Movement CD now.
