I would have been happy for Paz and the rest of the Saints fans. I know of at least one person here in Shoreline that was of the opinion that a more deserving team with a winning record should have gotten the play-off berth to begin with. But I am a Seattleite. We had the game on from somewhere around the middle of the 3rd quarter and I was surprised to see the Seahawks in the lead. It was kind of exciting to see them pull it off.

I misunderstood at least 2 of the questions that I knew the answers to and I also couldn't think of the name of the painting or the bay. So I only got 8 right. I guess the Facebook controversy has pretty much blown over but I would like to say a couple of things about it. As you know by now, the JMDL Facebook group was created purely by accident when I inadvertently created 'Groups' on my Facebook page when what I really wanted to do was create 'Lists'. I did not intend to create something that would damage or compete with the listserv. I also had not asked Les if he had a problem with a JMDL Facebook group. Les, if you feel the FB Group is a detriment to the list or if you feel the name 'JMDL' is an infringement, please let me know. As I said, I never intended to compete with or take away from the listserv and if I stepped on your toes I apologize. But now that the thing exists, many people seem to have embraced it. I am perfectly willing to keep it up and running as long as Les doesn't have a problem with it and there is no overwhelming consensus that it is harmful to the listserv. I don't know if it's possible or necessary but if anybody feels that it should be put to a vote, maybe that could be arranged somehow. I understand and respect the concerns that have been expressed. But so far, it seems the listserv is thriving (there may even be a bit more activity of late) and people who are posting to the Facebook group are enjoying having the space to put that kind of information. I apologize for taking so long to write this and I hope I'm not unnecessarily re-opening a can of worms. But I feel I had to set the record straight and at least give Les a chance to have a say.

I'm pretty sure Joni lives in Sechelt, which according to my map is not on Half Moon Bay. And why in the world would anyone know the name of that painting? (What was it again? I thought "abundance and decline", pleased with myself that I knew the title of the jacket art for Mingus, but no....) djp Susan Tierney McNamara wrote: > I guess Great Masterminds think alike!! :) > > From: Gerald Notaro [mailto:notaro@mail.usf.edu] > Sent: Friday, January 07, 2011 10:21 AM > To: Susan Tierney McNamara > Cc: Paul Castle; joni@smoe.org > Subject: Re: Joni Mastermind > > Those were the exact two I missed! > > Jerry > > On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 10:17 AM, Susan Tierney McNamara > > wrote: > Bummer!
