> [@TexCat](#): > > And how many of us remain at zero points? I liked it better when I was tied for 8th place with 0, instead of tied for 95th place. ;} Eighty-one of us are still at zero. Not a single one of my 95+ years choices have had the grace to help me out. ---

Still tied for ninth place. No boo hoos for Hugo, though. Good riddance. I will also toot the horn for my wife, **Boxermom** , who finally scores and is buried in the scrum for 41st. ---

Just saw that [Theo Bos](http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/2013/03/01/365--Vitesse-s-Theo-Bos-dies-of-cancer-.html) kicked it last week. I picked up two bandwagon picks and one exclusive (I think) in the space of about a week after a slow start to the year. ---
