    Sorry JR. **** Happens.

    At least the last viable back up included all of this.
    When you get a chance in your busy schedule (and I know how real busy you are in real life) please update this.

    Thanks in advance and again, sorry about the forum issues.
    Keep on Civin'
    RIP rah, Tony Bogey & Baron O

      It's okay. I'm pretty sure I remember all the scores. Ron Jeremy was having a terrible year, unfortunately, whereas my exceedingly logical selection criterion of "people who have played Einstein" proved to be, to nobody's surprise, quite fruitful.

        No need for apologies. At least we have the entries, so scoring can be reconstructed.

        Sadly, I am not keeping an active Excel file on this, so it will be hand-work. I'll try to get to it in the next couple weeks.

        But it would be helpful if folks could post any post-Groundhog Day hits they've had (looking at you, Bugs!).

              Dave Swarbrick of Fairport Convention has died. He was a great musician, but has been cheerfully coffin-dodging for many years. Going 10 years after a double lung transplant takes some doing.

              Musician Dave Swarbrick, best known for his work with influential folk group Fairport Convention, dies at the age of 75.

                  Abe Vigoda * - died Jan 26
                  Harper Lee - died Feb 19

                  And a new one:

                  I can't believe I'm the only one that had him...
                  RIP... You're still the Champ.

                    He's been on my list a couple different times, but not this year.

                    Ali meant a lot to me. Always true to himself and his beliefs.
                    RIP The Greatest.

                      My 1st sports hero. I was a kid, but I thought Liston was likely going to kill him. Turned out to be an iconic night.
