Andy again!
I’d like to say that LearnedLeague is going well; I’m quickly learning that miracles can happen, as I’m 5-3-0 in my Rookie Rundle at the moment. Match Day 8 was quite a surprise, considering I handed my Rundle’s leader his first loss ever!
Now onto playing catch-up from some of last week’s games. I was waiting for official word from DadOfTwins on some of the answers, because from my recollection, Week 4 Day 2 contains my first-ever perfecto! Hooray!
(Once again, thanks to DadOfTwins for all of the work he puts in!)
