Sorry, I've been asleep or just really, really, bored.

Oh for those days of June when they were dropping like flys. I only accidentally came across Tommy Henrich's death while perusing the sports page for the line on the upcoming Arizona/USC football game. (USC by 7 incidentally). Tommy, until Tuesday, was the longest living Yankee. Not any more. He wouldn't have made the column other than the fact that someone actually had him on their list. Congrats to Donna Campione for her third pick and fourth point.

Belated kudos to Jeff Brandi for having pie thrower extraordinaire, Soupy Sales.

The standings are unchanged with Howard, Keith, Chris and Caryn leading. Without a rash of holiday funerals, these may be our winners for 2009. Which leads me to 2010. Time to pull out those tabloids or tune in to Nick at Night for hints and clues that will lead you down the dark path to victory next year. We start taking entries Jan 1 and conclude Jan 30. Tell your twisted friends. Misery LOVES company.
