Talk about slipping under the wire!
Hey, I had stuff to do. It was close. I would have been earlier, but I had to add a name I missed.
Now, let the dying commence.
Game on.
I’m in first place! It’s a tie but still…
I had my list ready, and was going to post last night…and…and…I…fell asleep and missed the deadline! And I had a couple of really good picks! I’m so disappointed in myself!
On second thought, I guess this belongs in the other thread, since she died yesterday.
Good eye, ZomboniAce1000. I had that same list last year and nobody caught my error! It’s Terry, of course. Thanks. Attention Baker. ( Not that any of my picks is ever going to pass away.)
