Thanks to "Dolla Dandy" for running the circus this week and battling
through the bad hand he was dealt.

One thing that is painfully apparent is the homerism by which Phil
drafted his team.  I mean c'mon...3 of 4 Olio guys?  Apparently he
should've waited for his opportunity to get his ass-pats with the boys
later when they went over to his house for BBQ and bocce ball. 
Apparently Rez was left out because he wasn't going to be joining in
their reindeer games.  One has to wonder how he could let all 3 of Sam
Carroll, Jon Boling, and Matthias Mueller go unpicked.  It looks like
Mick was his only prized pick, and even that was mitigated by the fact
that the guy hadn't even *seen* a frisbee since Feb 24th, much less
thrown one.  Fortunately for me, this experience will surely prevent
Phil from captaining his own league team...

With only two weeks to go, it's looking like Calcagno is a lock to
finish in the money.  Got to hand it to him...even with a slim 2-point
lead - on what was $55 in winnings at the time - he made a trip to
Savannah to play in a tournament.  Earl and/or karma must be on his
side, because Dolla was cancelled that week.  I don't have the standings
in front of me, but if memory serves, this nearly locks Jesse into a
rostrum spot as well.  Conspicuously absent was Jonathan Miller, who
most likely lost his position on the leaderboard to Zack Mondry.  It'll
be very interesting as we come down the stretch...surely it will be fun
for me to pick the captains each week.

PS:  I believe Mick spells his name "Rebar" (concrete re-enforcer)...the
last portion just phonetically sounds like "bow".
