It was a very interesting card to score. Yes, for some reason many of us picked the same winner and either we all hit it or we all lost it.

Each week it's really fascinating to see how things play out as I load the info. Especially with the funky glitches in the spread sheets, as I QC and have to make corrections, how things can change for the players. I have to admit that's fun to see.

I wish I had a better understanding of excel formulas so I could fix the glitches. I have fixed a few. But in an odd way I'm glad they are there because it's kind of fun to see how things change as I QC. Of course, that sets me up for errors too when I miss the glitches!

Plen: I know jut enough about XL to screw up any formula beyond add and subtract, sum totals and heaven forbid how it can be linked to other spread sheets.

These spread sheets have sophisticated formulas linked from tab to tab. Like I wrote, I fixed a few things but not all. It's quite complicated. It's all good though, keeps my brain focused with the QC part, most of the time.

It's that time of year when JB feels his stride and starts running away from the rest of us!!! He's always a force to be reckoned with.
