No score on both lists. On the plus side, rolling over those lists is easier than making new ones. ---

Later on this evening I will be at an actual NYE party. So results of this year will not be posted until, say, mid-day tomorrow. I haven’t been to a NYE party in years. ---

I haven’t been to a NYE party in many years either - parenthood reset my internal clock, and nowadays I like parties that start early, because I want to leave them at 9 so I can be in bed by 10. I expect to be snoring peacefully at midnight tonight. 🙂 I’m sure we can all wait 'til midday or later tomorrow to see the final standings. Right now, I’m just rooting for Lee Kerslake and a few others to hang in there past midnight. 🙂 ---

I started out strong, but ended mediocre. Still, my best results yet. ---

I started off real slow - more than halfway through the year, all I had were the 71 points for bandwagon pick Fatima Ali. Even in mid-September, I only had 129 points. Then things picked up a bit. 😃 ---

Yay for bandwagons! I guess that’s my theme for my 2020 list. ---
