All,It seems that Cory needed my glorious services again (and by glorious I mean free of course, especially given his dentist visit!).
Unfortunately I could not get Cory a end-game last time I showed up but maybe I can this time. But before that let's go retreat-style (due tomorrow afternoon at Cory's regular time):
Turk F Spa(sc) can retreat to GOL or OTBGerman A Mun can retreat to Kie, Sil, Ber or OTB
Now, our second order of business - EGPs. Remember to vote on each. A non-vote is a NO vote. Votes are due with Fall on Thursday.
DIAS (draw including all survivors)E/TE/T/G/IE/T/G
Wow...what's missing? Heck I propose a Russian solo at this point. Everybody getting in on the act.
Good luck. Should be an interesting finish.

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
