Courtney is an excellent player, and I’m proud to say a fellow Portlander. But I’m not convinced yet that she’ll be successful against ToC competition. When you don’t know “D”ulcet, Neil Diamond, and anterior cruciate ligament, the smart folks are going to wipe you out.
And there’s at least one person on this planet who doesn’t know that Catholics go on pilgrimages to Lourdes. (OK, probably a lot more than one!)
I hope she does make it and keeps on winning though!
Go Courtney! Congrats on 7 days and $118,558!
Darn the daily doubles. They were not nice to Laura or Alex but I am happy to see the triple solve today. Congrats to Courtney once again on her seventh win. She has been playing like a pro. I hope she scores the eighth win tomorrow. Marc Jacobs handbags are very popular in stores these days like Macys or jcpenny VJ. Compare it with Yves saint Laurent, which is better?
Wow! Go Courtney. I’m enjoying your run. Congratulations.
Rough episode as all 3 DDs were missed resulted our eighth skunking.
Darn Those Daily Doubles, but Courtney got lucky, and is now a 7-Day Champion, and she’s tied with Brian Chang for most games won this season.
I am excited to see what will happen.
Man, those daily doubles got them hard.
We now have another 7 day champion in Courtney. She is now tied with Brian for 7 wins. If she wins tomorrow, she will be in first place all by herself in the TOC tracker.
